Point: E-Bikes Are Good for the Sport
Will ebikes kill the trails that we love?
The curious thing about ebikes and their "European invasion" is what they show about the difference between the riding mentality of the two continents.
In the US we place a high value on liberty. In Europe they value equality. Our value of liberty lends itself to divisions between the DHers, singlespeeders, bikepackers, flowtrailers, and all other self identifying user groups. This fragmentation beaks down our collective bargaining power when it comes to trail negation and undercuts our liberty to build and maintain new trails. It is reflected with the responses written in this ebike thread - "This is the way I do it and it is the only way it should be done".
Europe values equality over liberty and this leads to a better relationship between subsets of the biking community and is reflected with their larger adoption of the ebike user group. This, in turn, increases the participation in biking communities and is reflected in the standardization of regulations, better access to trails and more streamlined adoption of new trails.
Will ebikes kill the trails that we love? Doubtful. Will the American mentality of existing user groups towards this new segment of users place in peril the trails that we love and slow future development? Absolutely.
