Where to ride in Lemhi County
Salmon-Challis Trails says the new Highway 93 Trail is designated as a non-motorized bike and pedestrian trail, and that motorized vehicles, including ATVs and eBikes, are not permitted. Cycling West reported before it opened that the asphalt trail would run about 4.5 miles from just south of Salmon along U.S. Highway 93 to the BLM's Shoup Bridge Recreation Site on the Salmon River.
The Sacajawea Center, two miles east of downtown Salmon on Highway 28, has two walking trails open dawn to dusk. As a City of Salmon park, it bars bicycles from its trails, and dogs must stay on a leash.
We found no other documented eBike route in the county, so call The Hub of Salmon about local riding on roads and Forest Service land.
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.
