E-Bikes Are Half the Bicycle Traffic in Maine National Park

"Acadia National Park had no electric bicycles on its carriage roads as recently as five years ago. Today, that's a different story. Fully half of the bicycles rolling along its scenic roads today are e-bikes.

"In 2019...the park decided to lower the carriage road speed limit for all cyclists from 25 to 20 mph and to allow only Class 1 e-bikes on them... two higher classes of e-bike are only allowed on the park's paved roads."
