Sorry to hijack.

Where can you ride EMTN bikes legally? It does not seem there are any trails in SoCal that allow them. I am near Aliso/Wood Canyons, Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, Crystal Cove State Park, Oneill, Whiting Ranch etc, none of them allow Ebikes. Might as well buy a small Kawasaki or Yamaha for 1/2 the price if I have to go out to the middle of nowhere.

Or do you ride and hope you don't get caught? Or ride a stealthy bike like a Specialized Turbo Levons SL?

What happens if you do get caught?

Again apologies for the hijack, thanks.
