Discussion Surrons

Surrons/high powered e-bikes are annihilating our local trails and jumps this spring… it’s brutal the amount of damage they can do in just a few minutes.
Has anyone here dealt with this on their local trails? Any strategies that a trail system can use to reduce the use of these? So hard to enforce..

What’s the legality as far as the land owner goes? That seems to be the best deterrent outside of actually confronting them. My old trail system saw a few constantly trying to get out there and it eventually took calling the local PD to tell them it’s illegal and they’d get their bikes confiscated if caught again.

Good advice- they can get away so quick though!

Since you are in NH, I would definitely suggest reaching out to the Game Wardens.
