Are E Bikes Allowed In National Parks

Are E Bikes Allowed In National Parks. Whether its right or not e-bikes are now allowed in all 400-plus national parks and recreation areas. Their landmass including historic and military parks seashores and recreation sites totals 85 million acres of designated federal parks land.

Rules governing the use of ebikes in national parks went into effect on December 2 2020. The operator of an e-bike may only use the motor to assist pedal propulsion. In a move being heralded by the electric bicycle community e-bikes are now permitted for use in all national parks on any trails open to pedal bicycles.

First off e-bikes will not have access.

Hey thats not fair. Historically e-bikes were considered motorized vehicles and had traditionally not been allowed on non-motorized trails on public lands such as national forests and national parks. Pedal-assist e-bikes are allowed on roads and biking trails in Waterton Lakes National Park as long as they fall within certain specifications. This is exciting news.
