Any updates on Riding ebikes in Acadia National Park?

[SAFran]

I "heard" that e bikes (of all types) are prohibited from the carriage roads. Anyone have first hand knowledge/experience?

I had also been wondering this because it seems like such a perfect place. But here's an article from a few weeks ago (June 2019) that says you can ride the paved roads but not the carriage roads, which is where you'd want to take them. So, prohibited essentially.

At Acadia National Park, the e-bikes are welcome on paved roads inside the park and even on dirt roads where cars and trucks are allowed.

But they're not allowed on the 57 miles (92 kilometers) of carriage roads funded and built by John D. Rockefeller Jr. that meander throughout the park, offering stunning views of lakes, mountains and the ocean. The carriage paths are popular with bicyclists.
