Can you provide a source which backs up your statement?

Here are official trail rules for the GAP Trail:

https://www.gaptrail.org/plan-a-visi...ns/trail-rules

"1. No motorized vehicles except wheelchairs."

I interpret that to mean that E-bikes are not allowed on the GAP Trail.

I regularly ride on a trail which bans all motorized vehicles and which has a posted speed limit. I've been passed more than once by a young woman on an E-bike going in excess of the posted speed limit while she barely pedals.
