[QUOTE="Deleted member 67185, post: 627784"] :-) I suspect that you already know that horse riders [I]do [/I]qualify -- as long as they continuously ride the last 200k. I would gently counterpoint that -- as you have yourself stated -- horse riding has been a "traditional way" for centuries, while E-bikes have [B]no [/B]historical "traditional way" as a consideration. And while one may argue that bicycles are sans a long history on Camino, they are[I] solely [/I]powered by muscle, and their minimum requirement for a Compostela is also 200k, which is twice what a walker is required to do, which tries to at least create an equivalent human powered effort to that of a walker. While one may say that E-bikes might not be totally motorized, they [B][I]are [/I][/B]motorized to provide direct assistance to the rider, and gives the ability for the rider to far exceed any normal human powered effort. As such, even the most limited motor in a bicycle is prohibited from competing in bicycle competitions. This thread is not about the pros or cons of E-bikes; that should be a separate thread. The main issue for this thread would seem to be giving the OP information so that he can make sure that his friend is fully informed about the issues and controversy of an E-bike, as it stands today, if he desires a Compostela.
