Wasatch County just announced that electric bikes and scooters will now be allowed across local trails and pathways. Some people see this as a step forward for accessibility and eco-friendly travel, while others are worried it might change the natural trail experience.
I’m curious what everyone thinks. Will adding e-bikes and scooters improve outdoor access for more people, or will it create safety and crowding issues for those who prefer walking, running, or traditional biking
Do you feel trails should stay non-motorized, or is this the right move for modern transportation
How do you think it will impact families, older riders, or daily commuters
Will this change the way people use and respect shared outdoor spaces
Would love to hear real experiences from anyone who has seen e-bikes or scooters used on trails before.
