I think electric drivetrains aren’t bad. They shift way better under pressure, people are saying “what if you forget your battery” which is a fair argument but my sram axis battery on my cx bike lasted the whole fall season. For me i only have to charge it like once a month. And then people are saying it’s expensive but like what are you going to expect mtb is just expensive. Although both sram and shimano have budget options. Like sram gx axis or shimano di2 deore xt. Also e-bikes i dont hate them because they can introduce people with disabilities into the sport or just new people in general
