Madison riding country: university valley pavement -- not Teton Valley hayfields.
1. Rexburg town pavement
The county marquee. Start from eBike shops in Rexburg. Pedestrians downtown and on campus. Call the card.
2. Campus and park connectors
Short paved add-ons. Confirm the current city map. Construction gates close stretches. Turn around at the first fence.

Shop in Sugar City if a card exists. Suburb streets. US 20 is not a path.
4. Teton River public roads
Shoulder, farm trucks, wind. Ride them only as short connectors, not as a path day. § 49-725 path language does not invent a river bike lane.
5. What this county is not
Driggs and Victor hayfields are Teton County. Island Park lodgepole is Fremont County. The Snake River Greenway is Bonneville County. Do not paste those onto Rexburg.
6. Honest add-on: valley wind
A tailwind out of town is a headwind home. Turn around early.

Half day, Rexburg (2 hours): Town pavement plus a posted park connector. Wind.
Do not: treat campus walking paths as an eBike default. University signs win.

Idaho eBike rules snapshot
Idaho defines an electric-assisted bicycle in Idaho Code § 49-106 as a bicycle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts. Class 1 assists only while you pedal and cuts off at 20 mph. Class 2 may propel without pedaling and is not capable of assisting at 20 mph. Class 3 assists only while you pedal and cuts off at 28 mph. A machine that does not match that definition is not an electric-assisted bicycle under this chapter.
Idaho Code § 49-725 gives the rider of an electric-assisted bicycle the same rights and duties as a bicycle rider. You may ride where bicycles are permitted unless a local ordinance or posted signage from the agency with jurisdiction excludes you after notice on a governing-board agenda. § 49-726 says electric-assisted bicycles are not subject to driver's licenses, titles, registration, or license plates. IDPR, USFS, BLM, NPS, and city signs still win off the street. Read our Idaho eBike laws snapshot, then the sign.
Rexburg valley wind is a turnaround clock. Idaho Code § 49-106 does not open campus walking paths. University signs win. US 20 is trucks.
Driggs hayfields are Teton County. Island Park is Fremont County. The Snake River Greenway is Bonneville County. Shop in Rexburg. Call.
Madison County heat, wind, or snow change the return. A tailwind out is a headwind home. Turn around earlier than the map suggests. Idaho Code § 49-106 still leaves class and path rules to the statute and the land manager.
Do not copy another county's named corridor onto Madison County. The Boise River Greenbelt, Wood River Trail, Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, Route of the Hiawatha, and Lewiston levee each have a home county. Shop where you will sleep. Call the card before a same-day rental size.
I-15, I-84, I-90, US 20, US 93, and US 95 are drives, not eBike connectors from Madison County. If the next marquee is another county, trailer or drive. Statewide class labels do not open a highway shoulder. Round note 2 for Madison County planning.
Chipseal, crushed stone, pine needles, and sage ruts in Madison County chew sidewalls. Carry a tube. A path-ready tire is equipment, not a reason to ignore a posted path. Confirm the land manager the morning you ride. Round note 2 for Madison County planning.
If you only have two hours in Madison County, ride the in-town named start and turn around. Full-day plans need water, a layer, and a confirmed return. Do not stack two counties on paths in one daylight window. Round note 3 for Madison County planning.
