Where to ride your eBike in Northville

Here is how the rules work for a Northville rider. Michigan allows an eBike on any part of a highway open to bicycles, including bike lanes and shoulders. A city that prohibits nonemergency motor vehicles has to authorize eBikes first, so watch for local signs.

On trails, the land manager decides. A Class 1 bike may use paved, crushed-limestone and rail trails unless the local or state agency prohibits it. Class 2 and Class 3 bikes need the agency's authorization. Designated nonmotorized natural-surface trails are closed to eBikes unless the agency allows them. If nothing is posted, ask the city or township. The strict 7 mph e-bike limit applies to Detroit Riverfront Conservancy paths in Detroit, not to Northville streets.

For routes, ask at a local shop. D&D Bicycles - Northville is at 121 N Center St, and Town and Country Bike and Boards is at 148 N Center St. None of the Northville shops focus on rentals, though some may offer them on request.

eBike rules in Northville & Michigan

Michigan sorts eBikes into three classes: Class 1 (pedal-assist to 20 mph), Class 2 (throttle to 20 mph), and Class 3 (pedal-assist to 28 mph). No license, registration, or insurance is required for any class. Pack a helmet and lock, grab some eBike accessories, and if you're transporting it, a bike rack for your car before you ride.
