Where to ride in Bonner County
Visit Sandpoint describes the Pend d'Oreille Bay Trail as a natural unpaved trail, nearly perfectly flat, running 1.7 miles along the shoreline from a trailhead a short distance from City Beach. The Friends of the Pend d'Oreille Bay Trail say the existing trail is about 1.5 miles. The two sources differ by a fifth of a mile, so plan on roughly 1.5 to 1.7 miles one way.
The Friends say the trailhead is on city property at the Sandpoint Water Treatment Plant, and that the gate on the shoreline marks the end of the public trail and the start of private property. They ask riders not to go past it. They also say Black Rock, an old slag heap near the trail, is on private property and contaminated with heavy metals.
The city's biking page says North Idaho Bikeways opened the Carlson-McConnaughey Sagle Community Trail in 1998, connecting the Long Bridge path to a path leading to Sagle Road.
eBike rules in Idaho
Idaho defines three classes of electric-assisted bicycle in Idaho Code § 49-106. The bike needs fully operable pedals and a motor under 750 watts. A Class 1 motor helps only while you pedal and stops helping at 20 mph. A Class 2 motor may drive the bike by itself and cannot help at 20 mph. A Class 3 motor helps only while you pedal and stops helping at 28 mph. Under § 49-727, makers and distributors must label each bike with its class, top assisted speed, and motor wattage.
Under § 49-725, an electric-assisted bicycle carries the safety requirements of a bicycle, and its rider has a bicyclist's rights and duties. Under § 49-726, the bike is outside the Title 49 rules on driver's licenses, titles, registration, license plates, and financial responsibility, and counts as a motor vehicle only as far as 23 U.S.C. 154 requires. Section 49-714, amended in 2026, gives riders the rights and duties of a driver and requires due care, and § 49-615 requires drivers to use due care around them. Under § 49-729, a rider's violation of those chapters is an infraction.
Sections 49-725 and 49-728 let an electric-assisted bicycle go anywhere a bicycle may go, multiuse paths included, unless a local ordinance excludes it or the public agency in charge posts a sign after putting the change on a governing-board agenda. Each city, county, park, and land manager therefore sets its own path rules. We found no statewide eBike helmet rule and no minimum operator age. The helmet statute, § 49-666, covers riders under 18 on motorcycles, motorbikes, UTVs, and ATVs, and § 49-114 says a motorbike does not include an electric-assisted bicycle. Read our Idaho eBike laws guide, then the sign at the trailhead.
