The OP is laughable. His argument is basically "I can use in e-bike where they are not allowed because I am not sitting on it". WTF? The extent some lazy asses will go. Reminds me of all the dudes riding on closed roads with their atvs because there was no sign.
BTW I own an ATV, I own an E-Bike and I own Mt Bikes. They are all great when you use them where they are allowed. Not bashing any of them, but when people start using them where they are not we all pay the price.
How about the OP post a letter from the forest manger where he is using it stating that it's ok? That would go a long way in clearing this up. I'm a firm believer in stating facts, so if he can produce something factual from an actual federal agency that contradicts all their other e-bike regulations then we would all benefit from that knowledge. Some email from a company trying to sell a product is about as credible as Biden saying he's not responsible for any of the current shit!
