My local trails all allow ebikes. Which could be bad with kids destroying the trails (I remember riding dirt bikes as a kid). But... kids don't go out or do anything. Turns out all the ebike riders are old people.
I have an older uncle (early 70s). He told me that he switched in an ebike for trail riding when his strength began to fade with age. He said now he can use 25% power to get over the hardest parts of his favourite trails. He also told me that he scoffed at ebikes for years as "cheating", but then tried one after struggling on his favourite trails.
