E-bike, is like blasphemy to most MTB riders.

I had to Google translate the word "blasphemy". 

When you're getting older and it's hard to keep up your mountainbike-friends, an e-bike is the way to go.
But yes, when you're young and fit, e-bike is a no go.

In one of my ride group, all suffering bikers switched to an e-bike, the average speed of the group increased dramatically, and we have more fun riding together now.
Still not for me though... but it is definitely a good option for people who do not spend/have enough time to train, but have a good technique.

From my experience. The disasters come from people who don't have the skills to properly ride an MTB.
The extra watts are dangerous for them, but also for the people around.

How about use on trails Off Limits to Motorized Vehicles?  My opinion is NO, it has a motor, ie, no go...

Riding an e-bike must not be blasphemous enough... because when they ride an e-bike, they're in heaven.
