It punches me in the soul when someone uses the phrase "acoustic bike." I get that people are using it like it is used in guitars, but it makes no sense when applied to bikes.

The literal definition of acoustic from the dictionary is "of or relating to sound, the sense of hearing, or the science of sound." Non-electric bikes barely make any sound! Calling them "acoustic"... it is a terrible label.

If you don't oil your bike, it gets acoustic.

A better adjective would be "Analogue".

That's not really great either, though. I mean, there isn't really a digital/analog separation either.

"Human-powered" versus "electric-assist", maybe?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Honestly why not just "manual"? Sure on an electric you also do some manual labor, but you are being assisted quite a bit. The other one is 100% manual labor.

Simple, manual bike vs. electric bike. As in: manual labor, manual workers, a manual transmission, manual computation, manual indexing, manual bike.

I know and that was the point! I was half hoping the ai would add strings or wood features to the "acoustic" bike or an amp or something to the electric one.

Dictionary experts are always shouting that the dictionary does not define language, it just describes it. If we're honest it seems that the masses are adding a new definition to acoustic meaning unpowered or human-powered (and they have every right to do so as they've always done)..

What about...
unamplified

I think it would just be bike or bicycle. If it's powered then it becomes an electric bicycle. If it really becomes necessary to specify then you could say traditional bicycle or regular bicycle. Maybe peddle bicycle vs self propelled?
