Well, Have you seen these Mountain Bike Trail riders? Non electric bikes designed for these mountain down hill racing, going very fast! I have never seen, at least around here where we have many off-road hiking and walking trails, one single e-bike on these trails. They don't want to be on these trails. They want to be on designated bike paths or on the street which is perfectly fine. The only bikes I see on sidewalks here are little kids with training wheels with their parents pushing a baby stroller or walking. I never see adults riding any kind of bike on the sidewalks. Maybe you have more of that kind of stuff where you are but don't really see it here. And you make a good point that if you have an e-bike that is like a motocross style, go out to the dessert or areas where off road motor cycles ride. That's where the fun is! But these kids aren't old enough for a drivers license so unless the parents take them to the desert, they ride on the streets here. The streets here are not like in the middle of the city. We are more rural-ish. No excuse, but its not like they are doing this riding in traffic. We are zoned for horses so our streets in the neighborhood are kind of away from everything.
