Where to ride in Dupage County
The Illinois Prairie Path is the first corridor most riders think of. DuPage County DOT manages it. It runs from Forest Park to the Fox River, with 41 of its 61 miles in Dupage County, and it branches in Wheaton toward Elgin and Aurora. The surface mixes limestone screenings and paved segments. The county's Rules of the Trail currently allow all eBike classes but ask riders to stay at 15 mph or less. Read the DuPage County trails page before you pick a section.
The Great Western Trail is a good fit if you live or shop near Villa Park. DuPage County DOT manages this nearly 14 mile rail-trail, which follows the old Chicago & Great Western Railway right of way to West Chicago. The county built it in the late 1980s. County trail rules apply, so motorized vehicles are prohibited, but eBikes fall under the county's allowance with the 15 mph recommendation. Details are on the DuPage County Rules of the Trail page.
The Southern DuPage Regional Trail stretches 49 miles from Hinsdale to Aurora. DuPage County DOT manages it. Much of it is sidepath beside county and township roads, with real on-street stretches through Woodridge, Downers Grove, Westmont and Willowbrook. That makes it useful for riders who start from a shop in those towns. On the road sections, state rules for roads and bike lanes apply, and sidewalks are off limits. Route details are on the DuPage County trails page.
Park land has its own rules. Wheaton Park District has banned motorized eBike operation on its property since August 19, 2026, with fines of $500 to $1,000 for repeat offenders. It says the Illinois Prairie Path follows separate county rules, but it also lists a 15 mph limit for low-speed eBikes there, which differs from the county's all-classes wording. Read the Wheaton Park District eBike page and watch posted signs.
eBike rules in Illinois
Illinois defines a low-speed electric bicycle in 625 ILCS 5/1-140.10. It must have fully operable pedals and a motor under 750 watts. Class 1 motors assist only while you pedal and stop assisting at 20 mph. Class 2 motors can propel the bike without pedaling and stop assisting at 20 mph. Class 3 motors assist only while pedaling and stop at 28 mph. A low-speed eBike is not a moped or a motor driven cycle. Public Act 104-854 (SB 3484), signed August 26, 2026, takes effect January 1, 2027. It adds that any electric bicycle that is not low-speed counts as a motor driven cycle.
Under 625 ILCS 5/11-1517, bicycle rules apply to eBikes. You may ride on roads and in bike lanes. You may not ride on sidewalks. Today, you may use any bicycle path unless the municipality, county or local authority prohibits eBikes or a class. Class 3 riders must be 16 or older. A passenger under 16 may ride on a Class 3 only if the bike is built to carry one. On January 1, 2027, paths close only if a State agency with jurisdiction prohibits eBikes. Park, forest preserve, conservation and transit districts may regulate by ordinance. Class 1 and 2 riders must be 15 or older. Other units of local government, including home rule units, may not regulate eBikes after that date.
Illinois law has no helmet requirement for eBike riders, in the statute or in the Act. We checked the statute and the new Act, and neither adds one. Low-speed eBikes need no license and no registration. Still, a helmet is a smart choice, and some local rules or park rules may differ from what you expect, so check before you ride.

Frequently asked questions
Can I ride an eBike on the Illinois Prairie Path?
Yes, with limits, DuPage County DOT manages the path, and its Rules of the Trail currently allow all eBike classes at a recommended 15 mph or less. Wheaton Park District says only low-speed eBikes are allowed there, also up to 15 mph. Those two statements differ, so follow posted signs.
Does Wheaton ban eBikes?
Not entirely, because Wheaton Park District Ordinance 2026-O6, effective August 19, 2026, bans motorized operation of eBikes on Park District property. With the motor off, an eBike can be used like a regular bike where bikes are allowed. County trails such as the Prairie Path follow county rules.
What is the speed limit on county trails?
The DuPage County Rules of the Trail recommend 15 mph or less, while the DuPage Trails Plan states a maximum of 20 mph. Treat 15 mph as the safer target, and slow down near walkers, kids and road crossings.
Do I need a helmet or license for an eBike here?
Illinois law does not require a helmet or a license or registration for low-speed eBikes. A helmet is still smart on shared trails. Some local rules may add limits, so check the manager of the trail you plan to ride and see Illinois eBike laws.
Where can I rent an eBike in Dupage County?
The directory has one card categorized as a bicycle rental service. Rental terms, hours and eBike availability are not published here, so contact the business directly. Ask which trails it allows, since park district property can be restricted.
How old do I need to be to ride?
Current Illinois law limits Class 3 eBikes to riders 16 and older. A new law effective January 1, 2027 sets Class 1 and 2 at age 15 and older. Local park districts may add rules, so check Illinois eBike laws and your trail manager.
