Semantics: eMTB is it a board or a bike?

Hopefully this will be a very quick thread as I’m sure it’s come up before but we seem to refer to Electric Mountain Boards as e-MTB but then so do the Electric Mountain Bike dudes. A google search for ‘e-mtb’ is filled with bikes - no boards.

The question is are we borrowing their acronym and do we need our own!? :smile_cat:

Thanks! Honestly, I didn’t think too much about it, just mentally skimmed through all the small off-road off-road​vehicles that exists- ATV, dirt-bike, etc - to see what would fit our chosen wheels best. As a fellow enthusiast working on my first build I say- here’s to e-ATBs everywhere!

Well…damn, I knew I’d missed one.

MTB stands for My Trampa Board! Acronym is simply Trampa - when its electric its called E-Trampa (-;

I’d suggest EATS (E-All Terrain Skateboard) if I thought anyone would go for it. Somehow I doubt it though.

LOL!! :joy: Frank wins!!

This confusion is going on for ages now:

MTB = Mountainboard (My Trampa Board) ATB = All Terrain Board (Another Trampa Board) KLB = Kite Land Board (Keep Laughing Brother)

It’s established and the way it is.

Digging up an oldie that we never really got to the bottom of apart from some genius acronyms from @trampa :wink:

I’m gonna create a new build thread for my board but still have no idea whether it’s an e-MTB, eMTB, e-ATB etc etc…

I know it’s just a label but we’re literally creating a new sport here which is gonna get confused in searches between the other ‘e-’ sports which are cropping up.

Has there been any recent development in this space?

So…am I the only one still searching eMTB on youtube and getting mountain bikes???

Sure, we can call these beasts by their full names to avoid search confusion but I reckon they’re worthy of their very own acronym! As the founders of this type of board/sport shouldn’t we agree on what to call it?

We can’t have eMTB - it was already taken! :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

If it’s electric nobody needs mountains so it’s a NMTB (no mountain board) :laughing: or simple ETB (electric terrain board)
