None of the reasons to ban ebikes make any sense, by the way. Too fast? Where, on the climb? So now we will ban any cross country biker weighing 120 lbs and is in great shape, because they can climb fast? How fast, exactly? Or are we banning a class of bike based purely on hypotheticals and not actual experience?
We can't possibly mean they are going too fast on the downhill. Anybody who suggests this, does not have any experience on an ebike. They all have governors that stop. I've gone much faster downhill on my regular bike.
