So if we can set aside the current rules on throttle controlled electric bikes for a second.
Why do you have an issue with them on your trails? If you can ride an ebike, why can't it just be a low powered motorcycle? At least on the descents they would pose no more wear than most full powered ebikes right? And uphill probably also the same as a full powered ebike on boost.
This is part of my issue with the pro-ebike crowd. Why do you think you can draw that arbitrary line in the sand that a throttle just cannot be used, but boost while pedaling is okay?
