I see your point Cam, but why does the bike industry giants get to decide what is trail friendly motorized and what isn't? They get to put their ebikes on trail but another company making gas assisted bikes are shut out? More crap for the land mangers to deal with no?
Another senario: Up on the trails.....It's OK for me to be here, my "Pendelec" is assisted, you have a ebike with a throttle, you have to go home. Have fun trying to police that.... The Land managers are going to lump everyone together and we could be losing trail networks.
In 5 years the tech will be that much better, people will barely be pedaling at all for hours. The line between bicycle and moto will be so blurred.
Hey can't wait to rip up GSM at 30km per hour, gunna be so sick.
