Can I Ride a Recon Power Bike In a National Park?

There are 62 National Parks and over 10,000 State Parks across the United States, as well as countless other public lands and beaches throughout the country. However, each park’s policy on bicycle usage — including electric-powered bikes — vary from state to state and park to park. But times are changing and for the better!

Electric-powered bikes (commonly referred to as ebikes) are gaining popularity around the country and therefore national parks and government agencies are reevaluating their policies (or lack thereof) for ebikes, including electric mountain bikes (eMTBs). In fact, the Department of Interior, which oversees the National Park Service and other federal lands, are taking steps to make ebikes completely legal on trails and areas in which traditional bikes are allowed on national parks across the country.

National parks have already evaluated the use of electric-powered bikes in response to the National Park Service’s policy outlined in August of 2019. A proposed ebike regulation for a formalized policy is now open for 60 days until June 8, 2020.

“The regulation would define the term ‘electric bicycle’ and allow superintendents to provide for e-bike use in a similar manner to the current e-bike policy,” according to the National Park Service website. “The NPS seeks meaningful public input on this rule. The intent of this action is to address an emerging technology in a manner that accommodates visitors and increases opportunities for the public to recreate within and travel through the National Park System, while at the same time protecting the resources and values that draw millions of visitors each year.”

KNOW YOUR ELECTRIC POWERED BIKE


One of the most important distinctions laid about by the U.S. government in regards to electric-powered bikes is the four different classifications depending on the type of motor and the maximum speed they allow for. Here are the four distinct ebike classifications:

Class 1 Electric Bike

Motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling. Ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 MPH.

Class 2 Electric Bike

Motor that may be used exclusively to propel the bicycle. Not capable of providing assistance when the bicycle reaches a speed of 20 MPH.

Class 3 Electric Bike

Motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling. Ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches a speed of 28 MPH. Equipped with a speedometer.

Class 4 Electric Bike

Electric drive system that can be activated through either a pedaling action or throttle. Top speed is above 28 mph and/or the motor wattage may be greater than 750 watts.

FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH STATE LAWS


Until there is a universal policy in place from the National Parks Service, most national parks will fall under the guidance of the state laws they’re in. As with many state regulations, electric-powered bikes in national parks vary greatly from state to state, with many states having no specific regulations regarding them at all, and some states treating them just like traditional bicycles.

While there is a strong chance you’ll be able to operate and ride your electric-powered bike in most national parks without a problem, it’s always a good idea to research your state’s law regarding them or the state in which you plan to visit a national park or other public land or beach. You can find this information quickly with an online search or call the national park ahead of time for more clarification or insight into the state’s laws (if any) regarding ebikes.
