Trail usage is generally categorized by how much damage a certain activity does to the trail. Traditional motorized vehicles aren't allowed on hiking/biking/horse trails, sometimes quads aren't allowed on dirtbike trails because quads do more damage.
If these e-bikes don't do any more damage than a normal mountain biker, then I think they're fine.
If you're going to restrict weight on mountain bikes, are you saying bigger mountain bikers shouldn't be allowed on the trails? I bike with a 250lb+ person, he's a beast.
