Electric mountain bikers: What do you do if you don’t have enough local e-bike trails to ride?

Two weeks ago we ran a survey on Singletracks asking, “Does your local area have the right number of e-bike-legal MTB trails?” While we didn’t receive nearly as many responses to this survey as we did to the e-bike ownership survey, a full 61% of survey respondents said, “No, we don’t have enough.” We want to know how eMTB owners deal with a lack of legal trails to ride locally.

What do you do if you don't have enough e-bike-legal trails to ride?

• Travel somewhere else to ride
• Ride the only eMTB-legal trails available
• Ride anyway, regardless of what the signs say
• Ride a regular/non-motorized MTB
• Advocate for better e-bike access
• A different, non-bike activity
• Complain about it on social media
• Something else I’ll tell you about in the comments
