e-Bike Update

In September, the Park District Board of Directors voted to allow Class I e-Bikes on all trails where regular bikes are allowed, and Class II e-Bikes on all paved Regional Trails. Class 1 e-Bikes are pedal-assist and require pedaling for assistance from the electric motor. Class 2 e-Bikes have a throttle and allow pedal assist but do not require pedaling for assistance from the electric motor.

All e-Bikes must follow the 15 mile-per-hour bike speed limit. Bikers should also remember to slow down around others, call out or ring their bell when passing, and stay on designated trails only.
