1 eBike Shop in Union County, MS
Union County turns up 1 listing in the directory, in 1 city, in New Albany. New Albany is the northern end of the Tanglefoot Trail, a 43.6-mile paved rail-trail, and that trail is why most riders come.

Where to ride in Union County
The district's rules, effective March 13, 2026, permit Class 1 or Class 2 eBikes that are battery powered, operated by someone at least 16, at a maximum of 15 mph. Class 3 is not among the permitted classes.
The trailhead in New Albany is at West Bankhead Street and North Railroad Avenue, according to TrailLink. The next whistle stops to the south are Ingomar at mile 37.1 and Ecru at mile 32.6, both with restrooms and water.
Hours run from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset. The district lists no special permits or fees as of March 13, 2026, and horses are not allowed.
The trail is asphalt rail-trail, so the grades are gentle. The district notes upgrade work with periodic closures, so check its page before you plan a long day.
Because the district publishes a clear rule, you can decide on the bike before you leave home. If your eBike is a Class 3 model, the Tanglefoot Trail is not the place to ride it, and a Class 1 or Class 2 bike will fit.
The Tanglefoot Trail's written rule is unusual in Mississippi. The Natchez Trace Parkway allows eBikes where bicycles are allowed, the 11-mile mountain bike trail at Tombigbee State Park with no eBike rule, and the South Campus Rail Trail in Oxford is a 2.8-mile gravel rail bed. Each is a separate trip from New Albany.
The Tanglefoot Trail joins Union County with Pontotoc County to the south, and the district address, 75 S Main St in Pontotoc, is the office to call about closures. Phone (662) 489-2415.
Tombigbee State Park and Natchez Trace Parkway riders will find different rules, so read the Tanglefoot Trail page above before you load a Class 3 bike.
Riders who continue south will reach Pontotoc Gateway at mile 25.1, which is where the Lee County ride guide picks the trail up again. Ecru and Ingomar are the two whistle stops between.
Tupelo, a short drive south, adds the Beech Springs Trail at Parkway milepost 266, a half-mile paved walk, and the Veterans Park Trail, 0.9 miles of asphalt.
eBike rules in Mississippi
Mississippi defines an electric bicycle in Miss. Code Ann. § 63-3-103(l) as a bicycle or tricycle with fully operable pedals, a saddle or seat, and an electric motor of less than 750 watts, sorted into three classes. Class 1 assists only while you pedal and stops assisting at 20 mph. Class 2 can move the bike without pedaling and cannot assist above 20 mph. Class 3 assists only while you pedal and stops assisting at 28 mph.
§ 63-3-1315 gives an electric bicycle the same rights and duties as a bicycle and says it is not a motor vehicle, so it needs no driver's license, registration, title, or license plate. It may be ridden wherever bicycles are allowed, including streets, bike lanes, and multi-use paths. After notice and a public hearing, a local authority or state agency may prohibit Class 1 or Class 2 bikes on a path for safety or legal compliance, and it may prohibit Class 3 bikes on a path. On a specifically nonmotorized, natural-surface trail the managing authority can regulate eBikes on its own. The text comes from the enrolled 2021 House Bill 1195.
Nobody under 16 may operate a Class 3 eBike, though a younger rider may ride as a passenger on a Class 3 built to carry one. A Class 3 must have a speedometer that reads in miles per hour, every eBike must carry a permanent label showing its class, top assisted speed, and motor wattage, and the motor must disengage when the brakes are applied. These two sections set no statewide helmet rule. Read our Mississippi eBike laws guide, then the sign at the trailhead.
