The e-bike vs moto is an interesting conversation. Where I live it’s not an option close at hand so it’s off the table. The closest spot where I could ride a moto is Squamish and it’s a 45 minute drive without traffic issues.
I am quite fascinated by trials Motos however and if I lived somewhere with easy access I’d be keen to try it. I’d be much more keen if the smell, direct fossil fuel consumption and noise were reduced. E motors are here but the range isn’t there yet from what I understand.
I love the idea of getting further away on an e-bike and a moto takes that to the next level so there’s lots of appeal there
I haven’t ridden often in places where motos and bikes share trails, or encountered many motos while I have been in those places, so I can’t make a very informed comment. From what I hear about places like Sun Valley and Moab it works pretty well. Which makes me think e-bikes and bikes should be able to do the same
