There's strong reasoning to support the idea the humans are hardwired for laziness. So overbiking and ebiking may simply be the natural progression of the bicycle for all but those who ride for more esoteric reasons. IMHO from a trail use perspective it's a waste of energy ranting/raving/hating about ebike use on the trials. Instead, that same energy would be much better spent getting that user group to buy into trail etiquette, advocacy and maintenance before they become disemboweled by the greed of more speed, more trails and more fun.
