Electric bicycles are now allowed on all Oregon State Park bike trails unless specifically prohibited.

Previously they were only permitted on trails at least 8 feet wide.

The new rule applies to Class 1, 2 and 3 e-bikes. Class 1 bikes provide pedal assistance up to 20 miles per hour, Class 2 bikes can be propelled by a motor without pedaling up to 20 miles per hour, and Class 3 bikes provide pedal assistance up to 28 miles per hour.

The fine for using an e-bike in prohibited areas is $100 for significant or repeated offenses.
