[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 3043599, member: 14204"] Agreed! I, too, would love to ride my e-bike to work, but there is a designated bike lane/path, and people are not very good at sharing the road, pedal bike, or e-bike. Agreed! My wife's pedal bike is only a few hundred less than my e-bike. You are correct about the European transportation system. I spent 3.5 years in the UK and have traveled around the EU. Mainland Europe has excellent designated bike paths; Germany is probably the best I have seen. Holland is also supposed to be, but I haven't been there yet. I have heard about initiatives to build a bike lane/path from Great Falls to Helena since 2003, but nothing thus far. I am glad you finally realized my concern. I also purchased my e-bike to augment my hunting, based on the letter from the under-secretary of the Interior allowing e-bike use. Unfortunately, as I noted, Montana has not embraced it, and it has remained a controversy for ~5 years now, and yes, it is lame. When I contacted MT FWP, I was advised to contact BLM and WMA managers for hunting permission. It is up to them to grant the consent; each has different requirements. As I understand it, one of the resistance comes from the outfitters who use horses. E-bikes are viewed as competition. [/QUOTE]
