#!markdown It's important because of the issues he raised about electric mopeds since this post is about electric mopeds it seemed relevant. I won't get into all the backroom issues about him or MBA since I have no knowledge about that nor do I think that is relevant given the topic at hand. My main concern is the issues around marketing and selling a product that has limited legal use for the way it's sold to the consumer. It's essentially setting up a conflict to make some money. Sure you can legally ride a MUP with one of these and you can go to an OHV area. The reality though is they are being marketed as mountain bikes and people will want to ride their local mountain bike trails with them. Depending how savvy they are they may not realize they aren't allowed to in many areas such as all the trails networks I am aware of on Vancouver Island. That's one of the reasons not pretending they are a mountain bike from the get go would be useful. It would be easier for the average consumer to become aware that they need to consider where they are going to ride this machine before they spend a whole bunch of $$ on it.
