I haven't owned a motorcycle in years, but I am planning on a KLR 650 in the future for fire road and back road tours. I am a MTB nut, and own 5 or 6 bikes at any one time, including being a fat bike enthusiast since 2007 (old school Pugsley!), so I appreciate both types of transport. The problem with eBikes is that because they have pedals, people incorrectly assume they are not motor-cycles, which they clearly are, and so we are starting to see them being used on no-motor, multi-use trails. These trails are usually the result of lobbying by bikers, are built by bikers and maintained by bikers, and then used by others (cough cough equestrians hikers cough cough) who complain about bikers. With the potential speeds and significant power these can generate, they just don't mix. I have no problem with them on motorcycle trails or on public roads, they just don't belong in no-motor areas.
