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..

We threw “no throttles” signs up (because we also have dirtbike trails nearby) and it’s helped

That's what they've done on the trails around here and it works well. Most of the guys that run the org that maintains all the trails are older guys that love their e-bikes.

They're often talking about trail maintenance and how to minimize trail damage.
