The future of trail access is in the hands of the manufacturers of e.mountain bikes. Simply DO NOT build e.mtbs with these super high power motors. Save those for commuting bikes or something like that. It might help preserve e.mtb trail access...keep building them with huge power and potential speed the hammer will eventually drop, killing the very market they need. Manufacturers have the power, so-to-speak. If they keep building these very high powered ebikes (1000w is wild) they are, in my mind, indirectly contributing to people totally disrespecting trails and others...after all, humans will always push shit if a machine is capable whether they should or not. Even a small % can (will) ruin it for everyone.  So, frame manufacturers...if u want your e.mtb market to not get squeezed out/off of trails maaaaybe take some responsibility and simply stop building insane power into emtbs or shit will change, fast. Don't contribute to the point that it gets regulated heavily. Realize that humans seem to ruin everything at some point if given the power...don't give them that power.
