    Golden Gate Bridge allows e-bikes if they are powered down.

    I don't think the jeep analogy is the best. You can't realistically propel a car with human power. e-bikes function 100% like bicycles powered down or with the battery completely removed.

    I think it's similar to riding in a place where certain trails are mtb prohibited but you are allowed to carry or walk the bike in those sections.

    All correct... Except the Forest Service is perfectly clear in their definition. There is no allowance for “turning it off.”

    We can argue their use all day long, but it’s completely irrelevant when the land manager has already ruled and defined their acceptable use.

    Very true. Even powered down, they could be viewed as fire hazards. A lot of airlines won't let you carry lithium ion based external batteries cell phones for that reason.

    LOL I tell them the same thing when I ride my big Harley down Joplin. "I just shut off the engine, so it's all good" :)

    I said CAR! Not Pick-up!
    With the Pick-up, I just leave the rear slider open and go for a over the shoulder shot!

    Cheeseboro is a National Park. It is called a National Recreation Area, which is a National Park. The place is run and maintained by National Park rangers. And you pay your fines to the NPS, Atlanta, Ga.
