If you're asking me to provide evidence on the same level as your's, unfortunately the 3rd grade science fair packed up and left town last week.
That’s what I thought.

Edit: Also, I think you meant “yours.”
 
Same as always. Just trying to combat the absurd anti-E narrative that is based on feelings and butthurt rather than facts and science.
Nah man, this is the interwebs . . . you're allowed to just make up emotionally charged subjective facts without any citation to objective evidence, a study, or credible authority! :ROFLMAO:

I love when studies get referenced because they generally find two things:

1. e mountain bike impact vs regular mountain bike impact is similar or ebikes MAY have a slightly higher impact

2. The reason for the slightly higher impact is increased trail use due to ebikes making trails more accessible to those who wouldn't otherwise be able to ride there.

Once that premise is accepted, then you get to see who are the gatekeepers that don't want to share their hobby with new people. Heaven forbid we introduce more people to the sport!
