Where to ride in Aroostook County
The Visit Aroostook cycling page lists the Fort Kent Outdoor Center as featuring both eBike trails and mountain biking tracks with more than 15 miles to ride, and lists the Madawaska Four Season Trail Association (more than 14 miles of mountain bike tracks) and the Nordic Heritage Center in Presque Isle (more than 18 miles). It also describes United States Bike Route 501, which connects Bangor to the St. John Valley and New Brunswick.
In Presque Isle the paved bike path runs through the city and is plowed in winter. The Central Aroostook Chamber says it is a four mile path from North Main Street to Riverside Drive, built along an old railroad bed in 1981, and the Maine Trail Finder listing gives other numbers, a conflict we note in the ride guide.
Towns on the Aroostook Valley Trail include Presque Isle, Caribou, Washburn, Woodland and New Sweden. Visit Aroostook also lists Houlton River Front Park Trails, an easy five mile ride on both sides of the Meduxnekeag River, and the Maine Potato Blossom Ride, a 51 mile loop through Fort Fairfield, Caribou, Washburn and Presque Isle.
eBike rules in Maine
Maine sorts eBikes into three classes in 29-A M.R.S. section 101. An electric bicycle has two or three wheels, fully operable pedals, and an electric motor of less than 750 watts. A Class 1 motor assists only while you pedal and stops assisting at 20 miles an hour. A Class 2 motor is capable of propelling the bike by itself but is not capable of propelling it at 20 miles an hour. A Class 3 motor assists only while you pedal and stops at 28. A bike that meets the definition is left out of the moped, motorized bicycle, and motorized scooter definitions. We found no 2026 amendment to either section.
The operating rules are in section 2063, subsection 14, added by Public Law 2019, chapter 349. An electric bicycle operator is exempt from the Title 29-A rules on financial responsibility, licenses, registration, and plates. Since October 1, 2019, a permanent label must show the class, top assisted speed, and motor wattage, and the motor must disengage when the brakes are applied. A Class 1 or 2 may go wherever a bicycle may go, including bicycle paths, unless the municipality or agency prohibits it. A Class 3 stays off bicycle paths unless the path is inside a highway or roadway or the authority allows it. On a path designated non-motorized with a significant natural surface such as gravel, stones, or wooden bridging, an eBike needs the authority's permission.
Nobody under 16 may operate a Class 2 or Class 3, and a child under 16 may ride as a passenger on one only if the bike is designed for passengers. Any operator or passenger under 16 on any eBike wears a properly fitted bicycle helmet. A Class 3 needs a speedometer that shows miles per hour, and an operator is subject to the open container rule in section 2112-A. Private owners may restrict eBikes on their own ways and property. Read our Maine eBike laws guide, then check the sign at the trailhead.
