I primarily ride on the road. I am going to put an ebike kit on my bicycle. I want it to assist me. So no throttle and no high voltage. If you want to ride with the public on paths or trails then you will need thicker skin. I have seen both ebikes and motorized bikes that run illegally. Eventually they will catch themselves in trouble with the law. If we complain to loud about them then more unreasonable restrictions will be put on all of us. As it stands ebikes are not allowed on MTB trails in many or all national parks. My friends and I were riding our MTBs up Rock Canyon in the early 80s and some waco pointed a small caliper pistol at us. He pronounced that he was a member of the sierra club. He left the area without his pistol and never threatened us again.
