Says the guy who probably uses a compound bow, rangefinder, etc. 😂
Compound bow doesn’t have a motor, nobody is saying use a single speed. However this has nothing to do with hunting. We are talking about biking. You want front range trail traffic in the mountains? The beauty of the backcountry is work is involved with participating in it, old timers reminisce about it because the work creates memories. You take the work out, you cheapen the experience and like referenced before the land will suffer.

You obviously have never ridden an ebike.

Until you do, you’re not informed

I have shared the trails with many of them, so I am pretty well informed. Thank God I am not in bad enough shape to need one.

Certainly not entitled enough to ask to ride a motorized bike on a trail designated non-motorized……geez.
I'm not asking for anything. Just patiently waiting for them to make the correct decision.

You are such a badass! I wish I was more like you so I could tell people where they should be allowed too!

Lol... are you serious? Do you know anything about ebikes? You think a dirt bike motor and an ebike motor are even remotely comparable? If that's where you're coming from you are not worth responding to.

You need to do some reading on things before commenting. Lots of info out there for you to educate yourself.

I suppose it depends on the definition of "e bike." Will that include the new electric dirt bikes that are available and expanding? I think a better definition would be to include a pedal mechanism with a battery/electric motor assist. Maybe it does. I glanced over the regs and didn't see the exact wording.

In this country ebikes are limited to motors under 1k watts. That is what we are talking about.

I respect the law. I'm not lobbying for this, but it will happen. Get used to it Mr. Olympia, gonna be some fatties in the backcountry watching you lift boulders.

Hopefully they don’t break down because I will help anyone but an ebiker. Don’t go anywhere you can’t get yourself out.

Captain Obvious makes an obvious point and pats himself on the back.
