“Electric-assist mountain bikes are the newest form of recreation in our area. Importantly, it is just as low impact as a traditional mountain bike, and has the ability to create many more advocates for trails and the protection of public lands. Because of electric assist, it allows more Americans to physically reach and connect with remote corners they’d otherwise never get to see. Further, e-bikes enable users to access remote system trails in the Tahoe and Plumas National Forest that currently see little to no use!” – Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship
