As bikes like this become more common, their use on MTB trail is becoming a hot topic for debate. Head over to the MTBR.com forums and read more about it. It's an issue. Trails already see damage from MTB riders during wet conditions. Add in electric torque and the weight/speed of a motorized bike, and you'll get damage, even on trails that are in much better condition than those which are damaged by MTB riders.
However, all riders should be able to use/enjoy trails. I'm much happier seeing people enjoy nature on electric bikes than pounding through it with loads of noise and smells using standard dirt bikes. It's a balancing act.
