      There’s a power/amp cord in that photo, clearly not acoustic. /S

        Oh you mean Bicycle. The word we’ve had for over 150 years…

          Ebikes are also bicycles. They just have assistance. Sometimes language gets updated to account for new technology.

            “Acoustic” is just not an adjective that makes any kind of sense whatsoever…if you want to modify the language to better describe what you’re talking about, at least pick words that make sense.

              I didn’t make up the language. Language doesn’t have to be rational. /shrug

            The fact that you already used the work Ebike to mean electronic bicycle means we’ve already agreed on a naming convention.

              EBike for electric, ABike for acoustic. Bike for both.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
