Plus when you see a "no e-bikes" sign you can just flip it the bird and carry on. Bikarens (thank you to Scroopy Noopers for that one) have literally no authority to tell you anything. Just watch them screech and shake their heads as you blissfully pedal on by.

Eh. The same people crying about ebikes are the same ones who have pushed the dirty bikes out of the hills.
I was part of the Quad Squad in Southern Alberta. We built trails, warming shacks, bridges, cleaned #### up... then the NDP decided they were gonna shut down the trails to OHV, but promised to work with us to keep us happy, and able to use our machines snow or shine to keep riding. Never did. Got pushed out of Beaver Mines/Castle area. Limited to the trail system that basically only runs in the ditch beside the road. But hey, the warming shacks, bridges and everything else is there for the NIMBYs that bitched it up for everyone who built it.
