Current ADV - Pedaling without assist

I ordered a Current ADV this week, ship ETA is listed as 5/30. The day after I placed my order, I found out a local town just banned all ebikes on borough property, due to teens on Surron types and with throttle assist abusing the area. This is unfortunate for me, as borough property is the easiest way to access the greater trail system in my area.

This being said - How hard is it to pedal Current ADV with 0 PAS? Can the bike be turned off and pedal, or is that prevented by the hardware/security features? I am coming from a RadRover 5, which was OK to pedal with 0 PAS, but it was hub drive without the app/controller security that Aventon has implemented. There is a $300 fine, but I am willing to test my luck if I can show the bike is off, just to pass through to get where I need to go.
