Are you thinking about purchasing an e-bike to ride on trails this year?  Before purchasing an e-bike for trail riding, check your state laws for e-bikes and the class of the e-bike. Only Class 1 and 2 e-bikes are allowed on all Indiana paved trails. Class 3 e-bikes can be ridden on Indiana roads, but not trails. Class 1 and 2 e-bikes assist the rider with pedaling up to 20 mph. Class 3 e-bikes provide the rider with assistance up to 28 mph. E-bikes are regulated like bicycles on Indiana trails. All bicycle trail rules must be followed such as wearing helmets, warn other trail users when passing and pass on the left. E-bikes are motorized so extra caution should be observed when passing fellow trail users.
