I now know enough to answer the original question. An e-bike can be used as an OPDMD. When the ADA added this policy in 2011, they told facilities they must create a policy to allow reasonable access for people with disabilities. If they do, they can decide on restrictions (speed limits, etc)...

I don't think anyone is suggesting riding eBikes on trails that are only for hikers. I think riding eBikes where other bikes are allowed is the goal.

I did take it as regular bikes had no speed limit but e-bikes had a 5mph limit, but then someone here just posted that in this example, regular bikes were not allowed at all because the trails in question were only for foot traffic. If that is the case, then it does make sense that the e-bikes...

"5 mph is about right if there's any kind of pedestrian traffic you have to get around." The problem is they say you may never exceed 5 mph. They could have said "You are required to pass foot traffic at a slow and courteous speed" and left it at that.

I can't even believe these rules. Limited to 5 MPH. Who rides a bike that slowly? https://www.nps.gov/ozar/learn/management/upload/FY18-18-07-Use-of-OPDMD-2.pdf

I have a eBike and have ridden it in MA DCR trails many dozens of times without a problem. I have not ridden it in over a year, but today I took it out. Right at the beginning, a park ranger stopped me and said I am limited to "improved trails at least 8 feet wide." That means, paved roads only...

Why is the Kashima coating on the top side of the inverted forks? Too much fork slack.

Seems to say that pedal mode only, but doesn't say you can't have a throttle. Just that you can't use it. Also seems to require bikes that can't go over 20 on power. https://www.nps.gov/subjects/policy/upload/PM_19-01.pdf

It doesn't need to accomplish anything. It is just a matter of not confiscating money that people earn to give away to others. When you tax people, you virtually hold a gun to their head - because they will go to jail if they don't pay it, and if they refuse to go to jail, a gun will be held to...

I got a letter. Also got a medical ID card made.

Their website says the USA watts is to be determined. So it will probably be called 750.

Road range test as to how someone might use it for commuting: 11 mile road test at 100% power. I put in 96 watts of my own power (so great the bike has a power meter for the rider). Average speed 17.8 mph. Time 36:54. 505 feet elevation gain. Battery went from 99 to 55. So that is a 25 mile...

I use this one. It is rated for 27 kg per bike. https://www.thule.com/en-us/ca/bike-rack/hitch-bike-racks/thule-t2-pro-xt-_-1691037

I just did two range tests.... I sent battery power levels to the cadence channel, so I could see the graph in Garmin Connect. Love this feature. Also love how the bike comes with free power meter! Wow. I can see how many watts I averaged and how many calories I burned. I am 145 lbs. 2017 Turbo...

I normally ride a Giant Trance 29er, and I am 5'8, 145 lbs. My past e-bike experience was a demo on a Stromer ST2, and I built a hub-motor MTB. I sold off the hub motor system as it was not trail capable - too much weight and the battery was 1000 ah and too heavy and high center of mass. It was...

Oh no. Brose is the least power, but claimed to be the most natural feeling (least like a motorized bike).

That is an entirely different kind of thing. But yes, way more speed per dollar. But much more of an electric moped.

100% the commercial is not appealing to me, but neither would be an ad for trikes set in a retirement community. Certainly the ad doesn't annoy me - I am just not their target customer. It is weird to see people riding without helmets, but people who ride bikes but are not cyclists don't use...

The Atom seems more advanced, but it would come down to the handling and how the geometry felt. Some others to look at: BULLS E-CORE EVO AM (same E8000 motor as Focus Jam2, but twice the battery capacity). BULLS E-STREAM EVO AM4 (in case Brose-S motor is preferred).

I didn't buy one yet. Now I am thinking that I want dual suspension, 650B+ tires, 140mm tor more of suspension travel, and Brose-S or STEPS. Turbo Levo battery is getting to be small - 504 at most and 460 for models below Comp. The 2018 Bulls E-Cores are 750 with STEPS motors. The model AM or...
