Electric bike riding in U.S. National Parks is a contentious topic. Now the NPS wants to know what you think on whether they should be permanently banned?

I know and I’ve been thinking about it. I could write an essay about all the different aspects of this (including some stuff beyond the NPS like nuance of throttle and how it relates to classification) but also the question here seems to be a bit baseless at worst (or surron stigma etc), or maybe a “should we throw all ebikes under the bus because of road wear from the heaviest ones” that might give an overwhelming response in favor of ebikes (also because health issues etc).
Though I am surprised I haven’t seen other people (like Area 13 or other ebike YTers) cover it so maybe not.
