Where to ride in Martin County
Halpatiokee Regional Park is the strictest place to ride in the county, and it is the one to read first. The 10-mile single-track trail runs through Florida scrub, and the trailhead is at 8303 SW Lost River Road in Stuart. Martin County Public Works, Ecosystem and Restoration Management division, manages it. The posted rule says no motorized vehicles, and only Class 1 pedal-assist eBikes are allowed, and helmets are required. Class 2 and Class 3 bikes do not belong on this trail. Riders must yield to pedestrians at crossings and on multi-use trails. See the Halpatiokee page from Martin County for current rules.
The Martin County US Route 1 Sidepath is the easy paved choice for a new eBike owner. It is a concrete path running between the John Dickinson State Park entrance and SE County Line Road near Tequesta County Park. Parking is at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, 16450 S.E. Federal Highway, Hobe Sound, or at Tequesta County Park, 2280 County Line Road. Length is a conflict: TrailLink lists 2.6 miles, while Discover Martin says just over 2 miles. No eBike rule was found for it, so the state default applies. Details are on the TrailLink US Route 1 Sidepath page.
The East Coast Greenway segment around Stuart is the longest route near the shops. Florida Hikes lists it at 17.6 miles. It has dedicated bike paths at both ends and a protected greenway alongside and inside Seabranch Preserve State Park and the adjacent Gomez Preserve. The trailhead is in Stuart at 27.26353, -80.25481. The land manager is listed as East Coast Greenway. No eBike rule was found, so the state default applies, but a park or preserve can set its own limits. Start with the Florida Hikes East Coast Greenway Stuart page.
Inland, the Cypress Creek trailhead on Indiantown Road leads to Cypress Creek Natural Area, and the Jesup Trail is reached from the same trailhead. The published sources do not give a length, surface or managing agency for either one. Jonathan Dickinson State Park also has a bicycle trail, with its trailhead at 16450 S.E. Federal Highway in Hobe Sound. No eBike rule was found for these places. Because the manager is not stated, read the signs at the trailhead and check the manager map before you ride. Discover Martin has an overview of five bike rides in Martin County.
eBike rules in Florida
Florida defines an electric bicycle in Section 316.003 of the Florida Statutes. It is a bicycle or tricycle with fully operable pedals, a seat, and an electric motor under 750 watts. Of the three classes, Class 1 is pedal-assist only and stops assisting at 20 mph. Class 2 can propel the bike on its own and also stops at 20 mph. Class 3 is pedal-assist only and stops at 28 mph. The law excludes eBikes from the definitions of motor vehicle and motorcycle.
Under Section 316.20655, you may ride an eBike anywhere a bicycle is allowed. That includes streets, roadways, shoulders, bike lanes, and bicycle or multiuse paths. Florida sets no statewide minimum age. Since the 2025 amendment (ch. 2025-149), local governments may set minimum ages and require government photo ID. A municipality, county, or state agency that manages a path or trail network may restrict or prohibit eBikes there, and the same goes for beaches and dunes. SB 382 (2026) would have changed micromobility rules, but Gov. DeSantis vetoed it on June 25, 2026, so state law is unchanged.
Riders and passengers under 16 must wear a helmet that meets 16 CFR 1203, under Section 316.2065. A shop may rent an eBike to someone under 16 only with a helmet. Florida requires no license, registration, title, or insurance for an eBike. Each eBike must carry a label showing its class, top assisted speed, and wattage. Tampering with the bike requires a new label. For a fuller walkthrough, read our guide to Florida eBike laws.

Does Martin County have its own eBike ordinance?
