But that's the whole idea of the E-Bike "laws", under those "laws" an E-Bike under a certain limit in power and a certain limit in speed is "considered a bicycle", allowed to be on trails or anywhere a bicycle is allowed... But I agree that most E-Bikes sold today are way over powered and speed limit is way too high, and should not be considered a bicycle. Unfortunately there will be a huge push back against the E-Bike when their numbers get bigger, just like what is happening here... and ALL E-Bikes will go the way of mopeds, even the "real assist" E-bikes that you actually must pedal to get anywhere. IMO
