It's my bike. I'll ride it on bike trails. What's the problem?

The trails are built and maintained mostly by volunteers, so if they don't want the extra wear and tear on the trials, well, I think that's a choice they should have. Unless you are volunteering for trail repair days? It opens the trails up to a lot more users which wears them quicker. You say yourself you couldn't do it without one. As someone who has done a lot fo trial building in my younger days, it's a ####load of work for even short sections of trail, and repairs aren't always simple.
I think we are in for a pretty big reckoning at some point with e-bikes basically becoming motor bikes. The Legacy trail has become a total farce but it will take some big accidents before anything is done. As it usually does.
