5MV-95 – Ebike v acoustic – which is best?
————————————-
In this video I carry out a subjective comparison between my ebike (Orbea Gain M20) and my acoustic bike (Gravel bike).

About the 5MV channel
————————————–
My name is Terry and I love cycling. I have named my channel “Five Minute Velo” (5MV). I have called it 5MV because the videos I upload will (mostly) last no longer than five minutes. Each video will cover just one subject that is described in the title. Although the channel is mainly about cycling on the road, I will also cover some light (gravel) off road riding and cycle touring from time to time. No matter what, much of the advice will be pertinent to many branches of the sport/pastime.
I am new to posting videos on YouTube (May 2020) and I have much to learn, particularly in terms of presentation style and production quality. As such I welcome constructive comments that will help me improve the videos that I produce and upload.
There may be some dry humor in some of the videos, so dry it may not always be obvious :-).

I ride with different groups, gentlemen in their 70s on Ebikes. Time trialing at 25mph to 200mile Audax on a tandem. My 6 bikes are like members of my family I love them all but some are better at somethings than others, and wether they cost £4000 or £500 I still like riding them. Isn't there a saying" there is no such thing as bad weather only bad clothing" I guess it's the same with bikes?
One thing I have noticed is I am taking longer to recover from cycling, but having hit 60 a few years ago it's only to be expected.
Why do you call it an acoustic bike? Does it make a particularly loud noise?
ME TOO, the gain is really not suitable for the west of Ireland winters. Mostly I will be on me Focus Culbero and me Boardman MTB. And of course the auld Torbo set up in me shed. Your handlebard look very narrow on the other bike.
what is an acoustic bike? bike with plastic strings?
calling a bicycle "acoustic" shows a clear lack of understanding the word. Acoustic, relating to sound or the sense of hearing. This has NOTHING to do with a bicycle.
