The paths are designed for Villages residents to enjoy the active senior lifestyle and get healthy outdoor exercise. My opinion, which certainly isn’t an opinion dictated by technical legalities, is that e bikes without a throttle, and are pedal assist only, are perfectly acceptable. Once you add a throttle to a bike, I believe it crosses the line of not really being a bicycle.
