I draw the line in a bit different place. I am okay with what I consider genuine power assisted bicycles on MUPs and other developed paths. I am still trying to get my head around what I think about them on actual trails that allow mountain biking. It gets to be more of a slippery slope there. I definitely don't think electric motocross bikes pretending to be bicycles belong in national parks.
FWIW, a lot of the folks feel the same way about MTBs or even bikes in general in the national parks. When you start restricting you just might find bikes kicked out altogether. It isn't impossible.
