Where to ride in Ramsey County

The Gateway State Trail is the main state-managed corridor for Ramsey County riders. The Minnesota DNR runs it, and it goes from St. Paul toward the Pine Point area. The DNR says eBikes that meet the state definition are allowed on state trails wherever normal bicycles are allowed. That covers Class 1, 2 and 3. Before you buy, confirm the bike carries its class label and a third-party battery safety test. Details are on the DNR Gateway State Trail page.

Ramsey County Parks manages the regional and park trails, including the Bruce Vento Regional Trail. According to the county's 2022 Parks and Recreation Ordinance, eBikes are allowed on paved regional and park trails at safe speeds below 20 mph. Riders must yield to pedestrians and follow Minnesota bicycle law. If you shop for a Class 3 bike, note that the county's 20 mph guidance still applies on these trails. The Ramsey County trails page lists the current network.

Minnesota treats an eBike as a bicycle, so you can ride shoulders, bike lanes and bike routes like any cyclist. Class 1 and 2 bikes may use bicycle paths and shared use paths with the motor on, unless the trail manager prohibits it. Class 3 and multiple mode bikes may too, unless the local authority or state agency says no. Sidewalks need care: yield and signal, and business district sidewalks may be closed to riding, as described in Minnesota Statutes section 169.222.

Other trails named on local route lists include the Como Lake Trail, the Battle Creek Regional Park Trail, the Ayd Mill Road Trail and the Cherokee Trail. We could not confirm manager rules for each one this season, so check the posted signs and the manager's page before you go. Local governments can restrict eBikes on trails only if they find use inconsistent with safety, general welfare or a property conveyance. Start with the Ramsey County trails page.

eBike rules in Minnesota

Minnesota treats an electric-assisted bicycle as a bicycle. Under Minn. Stat. 169.011, it has two or three wheels, a saddle, fully operable pedals, and a motor of no more than 750 watts. It must meet federal rule 16 CFR 1512 and fit Class 1, 2, 3, or multiple mode. Class 1 is pedal-assist that stops at 20 mph. Class 2 can move without pedaling and stops at 20 mph. Class 3 is pedal-assist that stops at 28 mph. Multiple mode switches between classes. Since the 2025 amendment, the battery or drive system must also be tested to a safety standard by a third-party lab. A bike built or sold to be modified out of its class does not qualify.

Under Minn. Stat. 169.222, you ride an eBike like any bicycle, including on the shoulder, in a bike lane, and on a bike route. Class 1 and 2 may use the motor on bicycle paths, trails, and shared use paths unless a state or local rule prohibits it. Class 3 and multiple mode bikes may use them unless the local authority or state agency in charge prohibits it. On sidewalks, yield to pedestrians and give an audible signal. Do not ride on sidewalks in a business district unless local authorities allow it. No one under 15 may operate an eBike, in any class. Local governments may restrict eBikes on trails only if they find use inconsistent with safety, general welfare, or a property conveyance. The BikeMN 2026 session summary says no new eBike laws passed this session.

As of October 8, 2026, Minnesota statutes set no helmet requirement for eBike riders. BikeMN also reports there is no helmet mandate for youth eBike riders. An eBike is a bicycle under Minnesota law, so it needs no license or registration. Some riders will still choose a helmet, especially on faster Class 3 bikes. Check local rules before you ride, since cities and agencies can set their own trail limits. For a plain-language overview, read our guide to Minnesota eBike laws.
