eMTB Module
Added to Trail Advocacy Program
QWR is proud to announce the launch of its official eMTB
module in support of sustainable high quality trail-based recreational
opportunity for Type 1 pedal assist electric bicycles in partnership with Moore
and Sons Motorcycles in Santa Cruz, California and Easy Motion Electric Bikes
by BH.
QWR believes it is important to work with diverse motorized
and non-motorized recreation interests in a collaborative manner to discuss
current and future eMTB-related opportunities and management options on local,
state, and federal lands.

Electric bicycles are here to stay and are becoming an
important transportation and/or recreation vehicle for many who want to get out
and enjoy the great outdoors.
While California and other states have crafted
regulations that allow for eBIKE use on streets and mechanized trails, the
Forest Service, BLM, and National Park Service define eBIKEs as motorized
vehicles. This basically restricts all
eBIKE use to OHV routes if they want to travel on a dirt trail.

Johnny Moore, eMTB Manager at Moore and Sons Motorcycles,
states, “Our shop has been a long-time supporter of proactive efforts by land-use
professionals to promote a sound trail ethic on designated roads, trails, and
areas. Electric MTBs have become an
important member of the trail community and we look forward to working with
other recreationists and government agencies to utilize existing routes where
eMTB use is authorized and to create new opportunities for this growing sport.”
Watch for These eBike Decals on Public Land Trails
“Easy Motion Electric Bikes by BH is proud to be brand
partners with Moore & Son’s Motorcycles to offer our complete line of Easy
Motion eBikes as an alternative form of recreation and transportation in
greater Santa Cruz County,” states, Scott Sisto, Northwestern Regional Sales
Manager for BH.
Sisto continues, “We are extremely excited to collaborate
with Johnny Moore & Don Amador to professionally create next steps with
future eMTB-related opportunities and management options on local, state, and
federal lands. BH (Beistegui Hermanos translated "Beistegui
Brothers") Bicycles is a 107 year old cycling brand from the Basque region
of Spain with an extraordinary brand heritage. We have been developing and
producing Easy Motion Electric Bikes for off-road and urban use for over 20
years. Our electric bicycles are designed and engineered as bicycles, equipped
with a pedal assistance and are aligned with California State E-Bikes Laws. BH
Bicycles is annually reinvesting in cycling at every level to offer premium
level bicycle transportation for however you like to ride.”
QWR applauds the eMTB panel facilitated by California
State Parks at the recent 2018 California Trails and Greenways Conference as
indication of the agency’s commitment to bring diverse recreation interests
together in a collaborative manner to build relationships/trust and find
solutions to managing eMTB trail-based opportunities in the Golden State.

California State Parks, CA OHV Division/Commission, federal land
agencies, local jurisdictions, electric
bicycles associations, and other stakeholders on this important land use issue.”
