It has been "only a matter of time" for at least three years now.

I have never been passed by an e-bike while in my golf cart. I think there was actually one time I was behind an e-bike traveling close to 20mph. Every other time I have encountered an e-bike it has been traveling less than 17mph (the speed at which I decide to pass a slower vehicle). What area has the 23+mph e-bikes?

My opinion: Forget banning things. Treat e-bikes as bicycles (as I believe Florida law does). Expect/demand that all users of the trails behave/operate safely.
