It's well-known that there is some pushback from the mountain biking community towards eMTBs, but does this apply the other way? Neil Donoghue has asked Steve Jones from @embn to help answer this. Although Steve is now an eBiker through and through, this wasn't always the case. With 40 years in the (non-assisted) saddle does Steve's love for eBikes outway that of MTBs? Or has riding only eBikes for 9 years caused him to hate non-motorised MTBs? ⏱ Timestamps ⏱ 0:00 - Welcome To Another GMBN Video! 0:55 - Who Is Steve Jones? 2:13 - Getting Into The ‘Nitty Gritty’ Of MTB 4:06 - Exhibit ‘B’ 6:55 - ‘I’m Actually Having A Good Time’ 8:00 - Steve’s Final Thoughts Useful Links: 🛍 GMBN Merch Store 👉 https://gmbn.eu/gmbnshop Racing Highlights & More On GMBN Racing 👉 https://gmbn.eu/GMBNracing Watch Shorts on GMBN 👉 https://gmbn.eu/GMBNshorts Submit your Photo and Video to us 👉 https://upload.gmbn.com/ Sign-up to our newsletter 👉 https://gmbn.eu/newsletter Do you ride a mountain bike or an electric mountain bike?
