Where to ride your eBike in Simi Valley

The Arroyo Simi Greenway is the main path corridor for riders based in Simi Valley. VCTC lists it as a shared-use bike path open to Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes. Class 3 is a different story: VCTC limits it to bike lanes and separated bikeways unless a local ordinance says otherwise, so Class 3 riders should stay in Simi Valley's bike lanes and read the signs before heading onto a path.

Etiquette on the greenway is simple. Slow down near cross streets and driveways, ride single file when the path is crowded, and call out before you pass walkers. It also works well for family rides, since Class 1 and 2 bikes are allowed. Ride at the slowest rider's pace. Anyone under 18 needs a helmet, and no one under 16 may ride a Class 3 bike.

Keep off dirt trails in open space unless a sign says e-bikes are welcome. Some open-space agencies restrict e-bikes on dirt, and if a trailhead sign says no e-bikes, ride elsewhere. For routes beyond the city, see the Ventura County eBike things-to-do guide. If your bike needs a tune-up before you go, Hi-Power Cycles is an electric bicycle store on Guardian St, and you can compare more options on our Ventura County eBike shop hub.

eBike rules in Simi Valley & California

California sorts eBikes into three classes: Class 1 (pedal-assist to 20 mph), Class 2 (throttle to 20 mph), and Class 3 (pedal-assist to 28 mph). No license, registration, or insurance is required for any class. In California, riders under 18 must wear a helmet, and Class 3 riders must wear one at any age. Class 3 riders must be at least 16. Pack a helmet and lock, grab some eBike accessories, and if you're transporting it, a bike rack for your car before you ride.
