    Hi all,
    Just bought a emtb recently.
    Based around Dublin predominantly.

    Wondering if there are any group spins, meetups, clubs etc, that currently exist specific to emtb'ers.

    Any info appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Why does it need to be specific to emtb'ers?

    Why not just drop in with a group of normal mtb'ers?

    I would say cos he has an eMTb, I mean why would he want to go with analogue bikers? For one the speed difference on the uphills... And most standard clubs don't have mixed eMtb and MTb spins...

    Do most (any?) clubs have enough people with eMTBs consistently turning up to require separate groups?

    Wouldnt have an issue with that myself around the usual ticknock/ballinastoe trails etc, as long as the mtb'ers in general wouldnt mind!
    I know I would have been cool with that when riding my mtb, but not sure all mtb'ers share that sentiment. Happy to try of course.

    I'm also kinda interested in potential cross country exploring type rides with similar bike types, with those who may have trail knowledge/experience etc, and since I sold my other bikes to fund my new emtb (had to have one), thats my only choice currently.

    fb group posted by Tenzor07 seems perfect for what i'm looking for.

    Thanks for all replies.
