The allowances for trail builders should be much greater - they should be, and often are using ICE machinery to access and build trails. Therefore I don't see how one would be against trail building e-mtbs (and I am firmly in anti e-mtb camp and also in the cynics camp).
On the other hand this particular example is really not a good tool for the job it ascribes to. The small chainring suggests that it utilizes some kind of transmission to convert your leg power to the chain, and that in turn suggests additional drag when your battery pack is empty. Which usually happens when hauling heavy loads to remote locations.
Maybe adjacent would be a more appropriate name?
