Holy vertical head tube Batman.

I driven them on test rides....if you can ride longer and faster whats the issue..I'm 58 and need all the help I can. The problem is anything with decent quality is upwards of 5 -$6000

And as much as they're expensive, the cheaper brands aren't worth it, too many corners cut means fixing them down the road is a pain.
As for mountain biking, we'll see a pretty big shift towards electric with the new quieter less powerful ones coming out, much more like a traditional bike than just one with a motor slapped on.

A lot of trail systems around here do not show any ebike or pedal assist bikes. They do have some restrictions.

I'm sure some places will keep restrictions but I think most places will adapt and allow the pedal assist bikes that are limited to a lower output like 250 watts.

The problem isn't so much the speed. It's the tire spin. We have a lot of trail Nazis. Anything that does any damage at all sets them off. I will say in my 24 miles of ebike riding I did dig my fair share it ruts trying to put too much power down at the wrong time.

Moab wont allow them

Depends on market share, if 50% of people are riding ebikes the regulations will adapt, even in places that are staunchly against them right now. And things like reduced power output and traction control will go a long way towards helping that.

I rode one in Hurricane in 21. I was "shocked" at how the power hit the ground. The argument that its assist and not motorized kinda goes the window because well it has a motor.
