there's a few reasons why e-bikes aren't allowed on trails in Sedona, for one you're in the desert so it's a more delicate environment, it takes about 5 times longer to recover. secondly there alot of slick Rock in Sedona, slick rock is the exposed Red Rock, it's called slick Rock because it was slippery for the horse shoes back in the day, they don't allow e-bikes on slick Rock because it has more torque and can spin the tires going uphill which would be black rubber marks on the rock. however they do have Jeep roads which the Jeeps leave a lot of rubber on the slick Rock so I think if you rode up that on a bike no one would complain, just look out for jeeps

Thanks for the video. Did the sign on the trail where you turned back say no eBikes or no motorized vehicles?

Hey great video I've just discovered your channel! I've always thought I would take my Aventure to Sedona so was especially interested in this episode. Discouraged that I will have to stay on the streets but glad I know ahead of time! As a side note we were able to convince our city council to allow ebikes on our Greenway by presenting data from Strava that showed that the non ebikes were riding faster than ebikes could go because of the built in speed restrictions. See you on your next episode!
