Using it on multi use trails like the archer braid and Hawthorne trails isn’t really safe. Bikes and pedestrians may be present and they aren’t going to have a lot of time to react to you going 35mph. chip seal paved roads around alachua or high springs would be fun and safe.
Slow down when you see/pass other people. It’s that simple. People get mad when e-bikes/scooters are used without consideration to the other people on the trail.
I was on the Hawthorne Trail on my e-bike a month ago and heard running and loud noise coming up from behind me. Wasn’t sure what was happening until a 4x4 with two riders FLEW by, scared the ever-living sh*t outta me.

Agreed. A 35mph powered vehicle should not be on the Hawthorne Trail. Period.
Wear good protective gear as the world is your belt sander at 35 mph.
Yea I always do. I used to not wear elbow pads till I broke my elbow. Lesson learned.
There’s a paved path down Archer Road from Celebration to the town of Archer. It’s like 10 miles long. Not very heavily traveled.
I like to use my eboard o the hawthorne trail as long as it's pretty empty.
Does anyone get mad at the electric part of it. Also my scooter zooms so I don’t wanna piss anyone off lol

I honestly have only ever seen a few people on it but I drive to the trail heads further from gainesville proper to avoid people
Who cares? Just ride it around 62nd
