How much faster is an eMTB over a regular MTB? Orbea Rise vs YT Izzo vs tight Midwest wooded trails

This video looks at how much faster a mid-assist ebike, in this case the an upgraded Orbea Rise H15, is over a regular bike. The regular bike is the YT Izzo Launch Edition. Both bikes have similar agressive cross country geometry that is well suited for the twisty, woody midwest trails I am testing these on. This test will give a more real world comparison for those mountain bikers that don't live in the wide open terrain of California, Utah or Colorado. So, that's a lot of you...
