Just drag a lawn mower blade behind the E-bike and say it’s an E-tractor. No license, registration or insurance required for those in NJ. And you get to do some trail maintenance. It’s a win/win!

I do some trail building and maintenance and try to help out JORBA when I can. There are some volunteers who do a LOT more work than me. I wish I had more time, but I do what I can. From what I understand whenever trees fall and block the trails, the volunteers who do all of the chainsawing, not all of them, but some of them have e-bikes to help them carry a chainsaw and gas can for the several mile round trip to the fallen tree and back. Without e-bikes, this work may not happen as fast or at all. Some of the chainsawers are retirees. Instead of being still and inactive in their retired years, they are giving back time, work and service to the cycling community. They are willing to do the work, but their knees and other joints may give them trouble carrying equipment over rugged terrain for miles and miles. These volunteers are an asset and blessing to the community. I support them. All cyclists are my friends, whether they ride acoustic bikes or ebikes.
