I don’t blame you lol. I would have done the same. In my area(Reno, NV) there’s a lot of mountains and BLM land. So a lot of the trails are mixed where there is OHV trails and then a lot of small trails that branch off of them that are MTB/ hiking trails only. I run into a lot of people that try giving me shit for riding my Emoto on what they thought was a hiking trail when it clearly isn’t(even though I go very slow when passing them). Even had a dude try and run In front of my bike after jumping from behind a bushy area. I think the issue is there’s a very large amount of misinformation out there on a very new market. Parents buying kids them thinking they are ok since they are electric(some parents obviously know better). Kids going out doing bad shit behind their parent’s backs. There are kids riding them to my son’s elementary school almost daily. So basically not even the schools know that they aren’t meant to be ridden on public roadways. Anyways, my point is that the people you have these issues with definitely aren’t law abiding motorists, and you should 100% call the police on them. They ruin it for the rest of us because we all get grouped into the same category a lot of times, and when legislation catches up with the market they will over regulate as they always do. I have several e-bikes that I ride responsibly with my kids. I have an Emoto that I ride responsibly, and I hate to see the general public look at PEVs more negatively than they already do. Good day, friend 🍻.
