How do you feel about allowing electric mountain bikes to use traditional mountain biking trails?

I've seen it from both sides:

(1) The agreeing side says not everyone can use a mountain bike, so e-mountain bikes make it easier for them to enjoy the trails like everyone else.

(2) The opposing side says e-mountain bikes are more dangerous and they have a larger negative impact on the trails.

What do you think about this argument? If you were trying to defend your opinion, whatever way it is, how would you do so in this thread?
