Haibike at the 2015 Interbike Dirt Demo

Don't knock it before you try it! It doesn't have a throttle... it's not a motorcycle.... just think of it as a bike that takes the sting out of any climb and encourages you to keep pedaling. Assisting you and allowing you ride more miles with more smiles. Just like you, I was very skeptical but after trying the Haibike... I can't see a legitimate reason as to why we need to prohibit their use on our trails. (outside of making some people envious)

There are "others" out there but this eperformance bike, as Haibike calls them, has been designed very responsibly to manage the negative impacts of traditional motorized vehicles. In a lot of ways this isn't a motorized vehicle. These just make the sport more fun and more accessible.
