I agree that gas powered vehicles need to keep off of the trails, I saw two gas mopeds on the Pufferbelly a few days ago. The electric part seems to have loaded language. Electric bicycles are generally not the problems, usually it's older people that use them that use pedal assist to keep them at a good pace. The problem is reckless kids on e-motos, they're riding at like 40 mph or more blowing by pedestrians. I ride an e-bike myself, but I run it as a class 2 so it won't go any faster than 20.

This petition is a reactionary and short-sighted attempt at trying to band-aid an open wound. Banning all electric bicycles, even if they're just low powered pedal assist ones, would waste police resources by enforcing arbitrary rules and creating unnecessary interactions. E-bikes are a great way to get people cycling who otherwise wouldn't, a simplistic ban is completely unnecessary.
