As electric bikes gain in popularity, you’re likely to see ongoing developments in rules around where, when and how fast you can ride. Regulations may depend on the state or who runs the land where the trail is located. Some states are separating e-bikes into three classes, depending on speed and type of motor, and drafting legislation at the class level. Fortunately, there are many former railroad lines that have been converted into paved, multi-use paths by the Rails to Trails Conservancy that allow riders to use e-bikes. These are wonderful trails in their own right, but also combine much of our U.S. heritage with a chance to see railroad artifacts and understand the paths those in yesteryear followed. Here are a few recommended rail trails to check out with your e-bike from around the country.
1. Cape Cod Rail Trail, Massachusetts

2. Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail, South Carolina

3. Rio Grande Trail, Colorado

4. Shelby Farms Greenline, Tennessee


Given the evolving regulatory environment, it’s a good idea to double check websites or call the park to verify that the trail allows e-bikes before you go. When you’re on the path, always obey the signs that state where you can bike or how fast you can go. No matter what path you choose, E-Lux Electric Bikes has a wide range of bikes that can give you a smooth, safe and pleasant ride.
