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!?
Thanks! Honestly, I didn’t think too much about it, just mentally skimmed through all the small off-road off-roadvehicles 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!
Digging up an oldie that we never really got to the bottom of apart from some genius acronyms from @trampa
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?
