Dutchman, our HOA in the mountains of Colorado has no rules about riding on our dirt roads. We’re at 7500 feet with fairly steep grades. As we get closer to 70, it’s just getting harder to ride at home. My alternative is to drive an hour into town to ride our road bikes. We hope to be headed to Alaska next summer and using them to cut down on using the truck for exploring. The NP allows them with some restrictions. Also, Although Indiana is implementing some restrictions, the Pumpkin Vine trail at rally does allow them. I imagine also, it depends on how you use your ebikes. My wife and I use them for exercise. At assist Level 1 or 2, we still get a vigorous workout. We have already checked out our calorie burn and it’s similar to our road bikes. I guess it boils down to no matter whether you are talking about cars, boats, motorcycles or bikes you will always have people with no respect for others. My brother was killed by a drunk driver while riding his bicycle home from work. We try to stick to paved trails.
