Yep, It's Happening -- Throttle Up
Womble and Syllamo are for all E-bikers
Remember when the thinking was that Class 2 and 3 e-bikes wouldn’t be permitted where mountain bikers ride trails, and where hikers and other trail users also are on the trails?
From Singletracks, is this bit of news:

More than a decade ago I road tripped from Indiana to Arkansas to ride Syllamo and Womble, the 2 being on my radar then as places I really wanted to ride/experience.
Are we gonna continue to keep our heads from actually seeing what is going on?

I have a friend who has really bad knees. He says having a throttle really helps get him out in nature. Who am I to tell him he can’t ride some of the easier trails. I’ll send you out to tell him bruh. ✌🏽❤️🤟🏽
They can have their own sport called mopeding. That's not mountain biking.
