But put a fit advanced rider on a powered bike and they will do more trail in a given amount of time. Any rider on a powered bike will be capable of more distance in an hour than normally aspirated riders. I don’t know if that increased mileage would be a big issue or not though. Trail associations may have to mark more trails at the bottom as downhill only though. My neighbour came upon a rider on a fat tired ebike today riding up AMPM which is designated “downhill only” on trail forks but I couldn’t tell you if it is signed as such at the bottom. My neighbour was going down.
