6 eBike Shops in Sussex County, NJ

Where to ride in Sussex County

Sussex is the most mountainous county in New Jersey and the emptiest to ride. The Andover eBike shops sit beside Kittatinny Valley State Park, where the county's two long rail-trails cross -- the Sussex Branch running about twenty miles north and the Paulinskill about twenty-seven southwest, both on cinder and packed gravel rather than pavement. Wantage holds the other strong bicycle shop at 4.9 and is well placed for High Point and the Wallkill valley. Note that the Appalachian Trail along the Kittatinny Ridge is closed to bicycles.

eBike rules in New Jersey

New Jersey treats low-speed electric bicycles -- broadly Class 1 and Class 2, pedal-assist and throttle up to 20 mph -- much like ordinary bicycles, with no license, registration, or insurance required. Faster Class 3 style machines are handled differently under state law. Sussex stacks more land types than almost anywhere: Kittatinny Valley, High Point, Stokes, and Wawayanda are state parks and forest, each setting its own rules on which roads and trails are open; the rail-trails are state park land again; the Wallkill River refuge is federal; and the Appalachian Trail is closed to bicycles along its entire length without exception. The trails here are cinder and sand, so a path and trail eBike with wider tyres suits this county well.
