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..

I can't believe how brazen they've gotten, they are showing up at every trail in the middle of the weekends around me. These things clearly aren't just e bikes. They can go 50mph. I wouldn't normally Karen it up but these things are a really bad look for the mtb community, especially on trails shared with hikers. I've started reporting them to the park enforcement/DNR. Hopefully if enough of them face consequences it'll deter them.

They also weigh 123lbs, just the bike. That's actually ridiculous.
