Please don't ride E-Bikes in a Public Land (BLM, USFS, etc.) Mountain Bike Area.

My Mountain Bike club has worked for years to get access to these areas. Other land users (hikers and equestrian riders) are not very keen for MtB use. The worry is that E-Bikes will be used as a excuse (Motorized vehicle) to kick out all MtB use in the areas.

I am totally ok with road use and on private property though.

I saw an older couple riding fat bike ebikes on the Point Reyes seashore, a couple of miles down limantour beach in the wilderness. It would definitely ruin the experience if there were a couple dozen bikers screwing around on the sand dunes there. But it was nice the older couple was able to get to that part of the wilderness, there's no way my mom could ever get to that spot.
