Electric bikes, sadly, won't save anything. You think we have problems now, well, electric dirt bikes will only make it worse as we'll have more conflict with other trail users. When your on your e-dirt bike and come around the corner of a multi-use trail and scare the hell out of, or even run in to, some hiker(s), horse(s), or MT biker(s), how do you think that'll play out with them? Before they just hated us for what we do and with e-dirt bikes they'll hate us even more. Then there is also the higher risk of potentially running in to, or having run ins with, wildlife. Being too quiet is an issue most don't seem to acknowledge or understand.
Oh, and there are just those out there that hate seeing others have any fun.
