They look exactly like a bicycle and one has to look pretty close to notice the electric motor, and battery. So, what's the official, un-official status for riding electric bicycles like this on the WOW Trail? Anybody know?

I'm guessing it's a no go, but you can e-mail them here. Please let us know what they say.
The WOW Trail will be a 4-season trail opened to non-motorized uses such as walking, running/jogging, bicycle riding and cross country skiing.
