You might find that your local trails are your local trails because they are rideable. More capable bikes tend to open up more trails.
I can sorta see that... it's just current e-bikes are quite capable of climbing stuff you really don't want to stop/fall anyway.... and whereby on my bike I often have a "can we ride this" or "how far up can we get" it's more a bit of fun BUT it's fun because it's such a one off. I can't see it being fun if its something like 50% of the ride? Maybe I'm wrong .. lots of people do trials .. and perhaps its like that?
On the times I've borrowed/hired e-bikes the most fun for me is the uphill flow bit... with the odd "cool that would have been next to impossible on my bike"...

Yup. One local spot here has 6 or 7 cracking wee tracks cut in from one fire road down to the next one, with no way of pedalling back up to do repeat runs, only option is to push up, which gets a bit grim after a while.
But take an ebike there, you can pedal up any of them, that's a whole lot more riding, and way more fun.
My biking consists mostly of slogging through boggy stuff. Rear wheel spins are frequent trying to maintain some momentum through the gloop. This in a fatbike with 4.8 bud and lou (that's tyres for non fatbikers).
Forget 2wd for climbing, it would be great for just getting along the flat at the moment.
Off to the alps fatbiking tomorrow, really fancy Singletrackminds Rossignol 😁
