Bikeways

All Park paved and dirt bikeways are Class I bikeway. Class 1 bikeways are for exclusive use of bicyclists and pedestrians with limited vehicular interaction. Speed limit for paved and dirt trails is 15 mph.

e-Bikes

Class 1: The Class 1 e-bike provides assistance only when you pedal, and stops assisting when you reach 20 mph — great for bike lanes, bike paths, roads or anywhere you'd take a traditional bike.

Class 2: The Class 2 e-bike is equipped with a throttle which provides a boost without pedaling, and stops assisting at 20 mph.

Class 3: The Class 3 e-bike is equipped with a speedometer, and only assists until the bike reaches 28 mph — an excellent choice for commuters. The most popular bikes fit into Class 1 or Class 3 because riders still want to pedal.
