What liability? Most states have inherent risk statutes where mountain bikers know the risk and cannot sue. Unless you are trying to argue that ebikers increase the inherent risk ( if that even matters?).
Ebiker hits hiker
Hiker sues park for allowing these high torque, rooster tail, Rut creating machines. Park has an easier way out if rules are broken.

Probably why ice vehicles aren't allowed? Non-compatible user groups

How is that any different from an analog biker hitting a hiker? And how many hikers would even realize the difference between an ebike and analog? I see it as just an appeasement to complainers.
 
Getting really tired of e biker’s trying to rename mountain bikes . Mountain bikers ride mountain bikes, ebikers ride e bikes. E bikers do not mountain bike, they ride e bikes in the woods. It’s sad they can not accept their shameful life decisions.😉

What are cyclists riding a road bike on trails called?

If you've ever ridden out west, you'd realize that nobody in NJ is mountain biking. We're small hill biking at best.

took the motor off my kona unit. Drilled some deez nutserts into the frame for the battery mount. Shock bolt comes off battery goes in. Rear tire is 1.9 ebikes need 2.3 or higher for the rough stuff, the rear is loose, i will put veliciraptors on the rear for some extra dig. The only way to roost with 750w is to put your body over the front wheel. Under normal riding it will never spin unless in mud.

What happens when you ride an eBike and there are no woods?
