      “May be” and “could” aren’t necessarily intrepretations of the spec.

      An in shape MTB rider puts out 200-250w. This is still 4-5x what a human can do. Its going to cause an increase in damage to trails, and vastly increase the rate of accidents - both of the rider and others.

      I rarely to never see people on “ebikes” show up to repair trails where I live, but they’re always on the trails…

        They’re still limited to 20 mph for Class 1, a lot slower than a pedal bike would go down a hill, the extra power really only gets used going up hills.
