58 year old MTB’er here. I was looking forward to getting an eMTB in a few years to keep riding. Feels like the window is closing as many place around me ban eBikes for the same reasons you describe. It’s going to be pretty disappointing if I can only ride at the “eBike Park” full of kids on Sur Rons (basically an electric dirt bike). Oh well, I can still ride for now.

if you get your doctor to right you a note, it can be an assistive device which is not covered by a ban. i am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, but i am middle-aged.
I think if this is true it highly depends on who owns and mamages the land.
I am pretty sure this is not currently true on almost all US National Forest land. Anything with a motor qualifies as for motor vehicle there and you will only be allowed on trails marked for motorized use on the MVUM maps. This includes mobility devices
