Istruzioni d'uso per gomitiera/ginocchiera per Mountain Bike:
The XXXXX is not intended for ***powered cycling*** or aggressive mountain biking—including downhill, freeride, and dirt jump—where greater abrasion or impact protection may be needed.

Ho un dubbio su cosa voglia dire "powered cycling". L'ho inteso come "uso con motocicli" ma ho paura che mi sfugga qualcosa.
Grazie per l'aiuto.

Explanation:
Concordo con Fabrizio e non credo che una protezione, benché minima, per abrasioni e traumi abbia alcun senso su una bike a pedalata assistita o comunque su una indoor bike in generale.
Secondo me hanno usato solo un (brutto) modo di dire e quel "or" non è un'alternativa ma solo una chiarificazione al concetto.

Reference: Bicicletta a pedalata assistita?

Reference information:
Concordo con Fabrizio ma credo che possano intendere una bicicletta a pedalata assistita, ma non credo che motociclo sia il termine adatto in questo contesto.

Example sentence(s):
  • Natasha Robinson, left, prefers natural pedal power to the powered cycling option favoured by colleague Ean Higgins
  • Recently featured on RTE News for European Car Free day and fully reviewed on Nationwide as market leaders in battery powered cycling.
