For me its a trail access issue. In Montana we are fighting everyday to keep access to some amazing singletrack. The people and organizations that are fighting us use anything they can come up with against us. This is a easy one for them. Maybe if $100 of every ebike sale went help save trail access it would be easier to pallet. Until the 3 big boys in game step up and start helping in the trail access fight their bottom line on ebike sales means little to me.

As mentioned the battle has always been between Hikers and mountain bikers. Before Strava MTB where respectful to hikers... now an MTB rider will run you over to get a better Strava time. Before E bikes hundreds of trails have...

Having MS, I'm the perfect target for an Ebike salesman, but I've sworn against them because of the potential trail access issues for others associated with them.
