Involved?
Ironically where we are the guys that have donated close to $1m of time to mtb advocacy in the last 10 years all now ride pedal assist ebikes.
Every hurdle we faced resolving mountain bike access has the same solution as pedal assist ebikes with speed and torque limiting. This is why in most countries these ebikes are a non-issue and are classed as mountain bikes.
All the hate towards them from mountain bikers are for the same ignorant reasons hikers etc hated on us previously over the last 10-20 years of advocacy. Many mountain bikers have become the new hating ‘hikers’ and are hypocrites.
Anyone who has a go at us on an ebike cops it. The hater can lick our shoes to say thanks for the trail they are riding on.
