A bike without the ability to actually pedal is akin to a moped, and I'll agree that they technically don't belong on trails, EXCEPT when a person with a physical disability is using it. I qualify, as I have Covid related breathing issues. I couldn't care less about a degree. Times and tech have changed, and outdated "opinions" need to be put by the wayside.
What do you think "hell bent on doing what dirt bikers do" is? We ride to get places that are too far to get on foot. Entitled mindsets and breaking the rules, like you are demonstrating is what gets access closed to everyone.
