There’s almost no place in Oregon where there has not been — or is a not currently — a rethink about regulations for e-bikes.

The Bend Park & Recreation District now allows e-bikes in parks with motors that are incapable of propelling the vehicle faster than 20 miles per hour. Some e-bikes may be allowed on some trails of the Deschutes National Forest. The state has updated its laws so that the three common classifications of e-bikes — Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 — will be the official definitions of the state as of Jan. 1.

The state parks department is now beginning the process of rethinking what e-bikes to allow in state parks and where they should be allowed. It is also looking at “hoverboards, onewheels, electric scooters, electric skateboards,” and Segways.

In state parks, e-bikes are now allowed on all trails wider than eight feet.

Should they be allowed in more places? Should only certain classes of e-bikes, where the bike must be pedaled to engage the motor, be allowed?
