Are manufacturers’ efforts to create lightweight eMTBs only making them worse?

    I don’t like the title. Super light ebikes are great.

    The article makes some good points about super light e-mountain-bikes but the title appears to address ebikes as a whole. I ride a non-MTB SL ebike but when I bought an MTB it was a muscle bike.

    The extra weight of making something an ebike definitely isn’t negligible. My skinny tire SL ebike still weighs more than my MTB and the weight distribution is different.
