Do bans work? I could probably build a bike that you really couldn't tell unless you took it apart.

Partially. My local trail bans e-bikes and off-leash dogs, but I still run into both on a regular basis.
Occasionally there will be someone waiting at the trailhead writing tickets to people who come off the trail with an e-bike or an off-leash dog. This seems to work as word spreads through Facebook groups and people stay away. Also generates some decent revenue when someone can write tickets for an hour and hand out a couple thousand dollars in fines for blatant violations (they stand right next to the very clear signage at the trailhead)
If it's indistinguishable from a regular bike, it's probably not one of the 1500kW bikes their organization had a problem with.
1500kW bike, that's a beast.. with wings and a pocket fusion engine, I presume .. xD
