[QUOTE="matt4x4, post: 9472, member: 437"] Just can't, its too much fun with the motor and battery. Just got done a quick little eride, maybe 15 miles down to the river and back. Cruising along, minute weight isnt noticeable, but when you start getting into single track trails, bowls, ruts, rocks then being able to move the bike becomes important.
