Where does the “Everest on an e-bike” meme come from?
This expression is attributed to French mountaineer Benjamin Védrines following the controversy surrounding the documentary "Kaizen: A Year to Climb Everest" by YouTuber Inoxtag. After the film showed the summit reached with oxygen tanks, several journalists reported this analogy made by Védrines.

The documentary premiered in cinemas on September 13, 2024, and was uploaded to YouTube on September 14, 2024.
