Where to ride in Hall County
TrailLink describes the Riverway Trail as a straight, flat trail that starts at George Clayton Hall County Park and runs east toward the Platte River. It is uninterrupted except for four intersections, and the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer is near the trailhead.
TrailLink lists the Riverway at 4.5 miles in its header and calls it a 4-mile trail in its text. It lists a concrete and crushed stone surface, and one reviewer says the paved path stops and gives way to gravel and grass.
The St. Joe Trail runs 2.91 miles on TrailLink's count. It passes behind residential neighborhoods and Sothman Park, in front of Central Community College, and along the Stuhr Museum property before it ends at George Clayton Hall County Park.
Mormon Island State Recreation Area sits just off Interstate 80 near Grand Island. Game and Parks lists biking among its activities and gives no trail length, so we describe it only as a place to start from. In spring it is a gathering place for sandhill cranes.
The Grand Island parks department's trail page runs on JavaScript and did not load for us, so we use TrailLink for the city trails.
eBike rules in Nebraska
Nebraska defines three classes of electric bicycle in sections created by LB 138 of 2023. Under § 60-614.02, a Class I bike has two, three, or four wheels, a seat, fully operative pedals, and a motor of no more than 750 watts and one brake horsepower that helps only while you pedal and gives no power above 20 mph. Class II, in § 60-614.03, has the same limits, but its motor may help whether or not you are pedaling. Class III, in § 60-614.04, helps only while you pedal and gives no power above 28 mph. Section 60-618.03 says an electric bicycle means a Class I, Class II, or Class III bike.
Under § 60-611, a bicycle includes an electric bicycle, and § 60-638 defines a motor vehicle as a self-propelled land vehicle other than bicycles, mopeds, and a few other devices. A bike that fits the class definitions is therefore a bicycle under the Nebraska Rules of the Road. Under § 60-6,317, a rider moving slower than traffic keeps as near to the right-hand curb or edge as practicable, with listed exceptions, rides no more than single file on a highway except on paths set aside for bicycles, and has a pedestrian's rights and duties on a sidewalk or in a crosswalk, including yielding to people on foot. Under § 60-6,142, bicycles may use paved shoulders of the state highway system other than the Interstate.
Nebraska's statutes set no statewide path rule and no minimum age for electric bicycles. Under § 60-678, the state and any governmental subdivision may make regulations permitting, prohibiting, or controlling electric bicycles in its jurisdiction, and a person who rides where it is prohibited commits a Class III misdemeanor. Section 60-6,317 also lets a local authority regulate bicycles by ordinance, so each city, natural resources district, park, and agency decides where you can ride. The helmet statute, § 60-6,279, covers motorcycle and moped operators, and the electric bicycle sections we read set no helmet duty, so a helmet is advice here and not a state rule. Read our Nebraska eBike laws guide, then the sign at the trailhead.
