Pointless comparison. It’s all about the ‘engine, or in this case the rider. A weak rider on one bike and a strong rider on another will produce an obvious result, whatever the merits of either bike.

Please read the comment below the video:
If the Birdy rider was on that road bike he would not be able to finish the race at all — that’s how miserable his fitness state is …

I since discovered that the fat Birdy rider is using an electric bike. It has a Bionix motor on it.

no contest at all.

you miss the point I think. Of course no race would allow a motor but Bionx makes bike riding possible for people who normally won’t ride . Also think what it can do for good riders.

The reason for the uphill race is because on flats, the road bike will easily win. I know because I have a bionx and can only maintain 22-23 comfortably on flats. A decent rider can easily go faster than that.

Even more so what if people instead of taking the car, bus or moped in the city / to work in rainfree days / .. took this then they would probably not think it was that hard, especially if it’s like 20+ km or so, and it would be very cheap and environmental friendly since it runs on electricity, and very little compared to even an electric car I guess due to the much lower weight. So for lazy fucks it’s awesome

The point is……
An electric bike , can help .
There are people out there who from no fault of their own have lung problems etc
and no they DONT smoke and they are NOT frigging fat.
Or an Elder person wanting to go out for a ride and then when they have peddled enuf and cant tackle the hill they get the bionx help.
An electric bike can help to get them out in the fresh air independently, obviously the lighter the bike the better!
Light strong electric bikes are the future man!
woo hoo
