I commented on a plan to introduce class 1 e-bikes to about 27 miles of trails on Teton Pass. Most of those trails were pioneered and built by a fairly core group of builders, who, as far as I can tell, ALL ride e-bikes now. The entire bike culture that has developed on Teton Pass exists as it does today thanks to these individuals, and many, many volunteer days as Teton Freedom Riders.
The same is true for most of what we ride in Teton Valley (besides the Big Hole’s, which are all legal anyway). Every dude that helped build Horseshoe, Targhee, Mike Harris Area, etc, are riding e-bikes now, and support them.
I do think that there should be some non-ebike places (Cache area, Horseshoe area), but there is something to the fact that individuals that had the vision and fortitude to create an entire thing here also see e-bikes as a valid part of the mix.
