Let’s be clear about bikes with motors. They are all, and should be referred to as MOTOR CYCLES.
The industry push for acceptance of them on footpaths and trails by labeling them E Bikes or Pedal Assist or Battery Bikes or Energy Reactiation or whatever they choose is just something else they want us to spend our money on.
If it has a motor of ANY sort, it is a MOTOR CYCLE.
So the discussion that now needs to be had is quite simple. DO YOU WANT TO ALLOW MOTOR CYCLES ON OUR TRAILS? YES OR NO.
