Not sure which way to go with this yet.
A couple of these were spotted at Middle Run in DE recently.

The typical e-bike discussion is around pedal assist (is that Class 1?), which limits the top assisted speed to somewhere around 20mph. There's no reason these can't be ridden in most areas. In fact, there are several folks that use e-bikes to do trail maintanance. They cause no more wear on the trail than any other bike.Any sign I have ever seen on public land always said No Motorized Vehicles. I dont think they should be allowed on the trails in NJ because the trails are hard enough to maintain as it is.
Absolutely true!! I can’t understand why anybody would care.The typical e-bike discussion is around pedal assist (is that Class 1?), which limits the top assisted speed to somewhere around 20mph.

What does trail maintenance have to do with ebikes? lol. Are people attaching BOB yaks or Burley flatbeds on the back to haul gear?
You should try it sometime especially when solo ?trail maintenance

Cool cool where can I ride these trails when we open back up. Want to sample them.I never do trail maintenance NOT solo. Mostly carrying 20lbs of chainsaw stuff, but other times carrying a shovel, axe mattock, rake, hatchet, hand saw, and the personal gear. I don’t do rock armoring, so no spud bars thank goodness. Normal day is probably 5-10 miles. No way I’d think about using a bike. Plus, hiking it gives you a chance to move rocks or logs and trim branches with pruners.
