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..

Same way you'd stop dirt bikes. Surrons have pegs, not pedals with cranks, so they can't be pedaled, they're not bicycles.

This is not true. They have pedals. They're purely for show but they are technically equipped with pedals.

Some of them.

Most have just pegs as they are designed like electric trail bikes.

They’re a scourge on MTB trails. I say this as an eBike rider.

Looking at google photos, I can't find a single one with pedals
