I was talking with a park ranger at my half-way point of my ride (road bike) today.
An older gentleman with a nice E-Bike pulls up beside us. The park ranger asks him if it is peddle assist.
The owner says it will do peddle-assist or can be used with a throttle.
The ranger says that E-Bikes are not allowed on path if they have a throttle.....even if they are capable of peddle-assist.
I rode off at that point. Not my battle. I felt bad for the guy. He was just poking along, not riding aggressively or dangerously.
Anyway, if I ever get asked "is that a peddle-assist trike" I know what my answer is going to be when riding of FL bike trails.
