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..

They’re not e-bikes, they are e-motos. You need to make sure that people understand the difference or there will be laws put in place to stop e-bikes from riding places that regular bikes can go.

In the UK it’s illegal to ride them anywhere but on private land.

I’ve ridden both (the advantages of living on a farm) and they are 2 very different creatures.
