So, I started reading your thread CP and at the same time, had flashbacks of the old Honda Trail 90s and Tote Goats.  Whilst digging around, I found this... Holy heck, they're back!   :chuckle:

What's the advantage over a motorbike that runs on gasoline?

You don’t have to license or register it, no insurance required, quieter, less maintenance, tax credit, no sales tax, they’re a lot of fun, …

Aren't they allowed in some non-motorized areas as well?  If they are under a certain wattage?

I could be mistaken.
yes they are, 750 watt and under. Unless private timber, they are ebike nazi’s, they don’t allow them. Hancock anyway.

Montana recently changed it so that ebikes no matter what the wattage are considered motorized

lot of ebike haters out there, so would that state law over ride the federal law?

Meaning what? I was told when I called that I could not ride behind a gate on any sized e-bike
