Me tooI find your naivety disturbing.
They make up about 50% of the people I see riding bikes now.
They add to the dollars spent on bikes and rider numbers out on trails.
The statistics of who rides now has expanded from out and out semi fit MTB riders to people who had a $600 HT with 2 flat tyres and did 200km a year if lucky... to the same people now riding $10k+ bikes and doing 3000km a year. They are healthier, the bike shops are thriving, trail networks are busy and we are getting more trail on the ground because of the money spent on bikes and wide demographic riding them.
Its annoying to see a picture of 6-8 blokes on ebikes, soaked to the skin and mud to the eyeballs but its not going away and its been happening for years with people on regular bikes, albeit in smaller numbers.
It would be nice to see them out with a mattock fixing trails and I see it in Melrose, probably half the regular trail crew ride ebikes (they were regular riders at one stage).
I dont know how to fix it... education, explain about the damage to trails and bikes ? Dont know
When I speak of 'they' I mean new riders who now ride more because of their electric bike.
