The main opposition towards ebikes, after each point is debunked such as "peeling out on the trail" or trail damage, or speed, or weight, or noise, or overall danger... all that is left is the fear that trails will be taken away because people will see an ebike and then suddenly decide all wheeled modes of travel should be banned.
Bikes like mine have the battery concealed in the bottom tube. I think we will see more and more ebikes looking just like a regular mountain bike. So then once the "non bikers" see them, they won't know the difference. It's just us bikers that know the little signs and pieces to look for in a bike to classify it as an ebike.
So then if the biking enemies can't tell if it's an ebike at a first glance, why would we blame ebikes for taking away access?
I guess they'll start filing reports on the rangers now for riding ebikes.
It just comes down to being angry that somebody else is riding the trail and not working as hard. Who cares.
