    The federal law applies to the public roads. Trails are NOT public roads. They can have any restrictions their management wants. Just like private roads at supermarkets - they’re not public roads and supermarket can say no Ford cars here and you have no recourse there.

        They aren’t private usually, they’re public, but maintained by volunteers.

        I helped maintain a trail for a couple years back when ebikes were just starting to be a thing, and they absolutely tore up trails. We had to put up additional signs (from the very limited budget) just for ebikes.

          Ah, got it. I don’t go on tiny trails or dirtbiking trails.

          Pretty much all hardpack or paved.
