I'll wait until the lawsuit where the theory that a bike powered by an electric motor is not motorized is upheld.

The largest bull I killed in my life came from the Olympic Peninsula in the 1990s. A friend and I mountain biked in behind a closed gate five miles, and then hiked a couple more miles down a spur road. We never saw another hunter in those years in large part because of the difficulties getting in on out of there. At my age now I couldn't do that nor hike 5 to 10 miles into wilderness areas to hunt as I did back then. I don't begrudge that I can't, and hope that younger and more fit hunters can and will take advantage of those opportunities. I'm older, wiser and will continue to hunt to the best of my abilities but don't expect to do what I did in my youth.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Everything Trump does results in lawsuit/courts.  I am all for access.  Plain n simple.  Too much has been taken/restricted away thus I will support almost all and any action for more public access.  WE PAY for these lands right??  I wish Trump would halt these private co.'s fleecing public with permits and closures while still receiving tax breaks/status.  Cake n ice cream sorta thing.  Umm WEYCO!?!?!?  :bash:
MAGA!  Again..

From an environmental aspect I am all for it.  Doesnt physically damage our forests any more than a mountain bike.  You could park your truck and hunt from your ebike rather than burning a half a tank of gas or diesel to get to the same spots.  Does it matter if you are walking and I am on a mountain bike and drive by you at 6 mph or 12 mph on an ebike? What is the difference?
