The EU Court of Justice yesterday ruled that e-bikes are actually bikes, not motorbikes, which means e-cyclists aren’t obligated to be insured in the same way as motorists.
A “no motor vehicles” sign would not prohibit e-bikes. However, I see no reason why a trail couldn’t enforce prohibition of a list of categories that includes both motor vehicles and e-bikes as separate items.
Thats because the added weight and power tears up trails, and the stewards hate that shit.
But that’s not actually enforceable?
According to federal law, I mean?
I’m guessing each state and county can make their own laws

Why not? An electric motor is, by definition, a motor.
Legal definitions aren’t the same as dictionary definitions.
