Where are e-bikes allowed?
Currently, pedal assisted mountain bikes (e-bikes) are allowed on all roads at Limekiln, Stone Quarry and Penitente Canyon. E-bikes are also allowed on all motorized single track trails at Limekiln. However, the BLM has no motorized single-track trails for e-bikes at Penitente Canyon, Pronghorn, Stone Quarry, or Bishop Rock. The USFS does not allow e-bikes on Middle Frisco Trail. E-bikes are only allowed on motorized trails and roads in the US Forest. Lookout Mountain is by title and deed a non-motorized trail system and does not allow e-bikes.
