e-Mountain Bikes on Mountain Bike Trails

When I lived in Bentonville, Arkansas, the fire department had a special mountain bike trail rescue unit. A disproportionate number of people that needed to be evacuated were e-bikers.
It seems that a number of people used e-bikes and avoided the need to develop fitness but also neglecting to develop bike handling skills. On conventional drive bikes, fitness and skills are developed together.

But you'll get that with anything.
People who are new to hiking and have no business hiking on rugged trails have to be rescued all the time because they chose to hike down a rugged trail.
