[QUOTE="CMP70306, post: 2433811, member: 36999"] Um the e bikes have nothing to do with activists, the main reason they are gaining popularity is because they are quiet compared to a normal gas powered vehicle but have the range and ease of use advantage over a normal pedal powered bike. As far as I can tell they really only go about 20 mph on flat roads and significantly slower on trails unless they are going down hill at which point they are no different than a normal mountain bike. However it does seem like the electric assistance would make traveling up mountains significantly easier than walking or regular mountain biking. The main reason that a lot of motorized vehicles aren’t allowed on public lands is because they have a tendency to tear up roads. People on electric bikes don’t have the capacity to tear up the roads because they don’t have enough torque and aren’t spinning tires to power themselves through the mud. We are dealing with this now on our property, what started as two wet spots on an old logging road has turned into 200 yards of mud pits after just a couple times running the side by sides and quads on them during hunting season. That wouldn’t have happened with ebikes. [/QUOTE]
