Where to ride in Suffolk County

The North Shore Rail Trail is the longest named path in the sources we checked. TrailLink lists it at 10.4 miles of asphalt, running from Wading River Manor Road in Wading River to Crystal Brook Hollow Road in Mt Sinai. TrailLink and user reports often say motorized bikes are not allowed. County code bans e-assist bikes on county off-highway property, so treat this trail as closed to motors unless a posted sign says otherwise. If you want to ride it, ask a nearby shop first and read the posted rules at the trailhead. See the North Shore Rail Trail page on TrailLink for the route description.

Fire Island has its own set of rules, written into Suffolk County Code Article IX. Motor assist is banned on pedestrian walks from May 15 through Columbus Day Monday. It is allowed from the Tuesday after Columbus Day through May 14, but not from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise. Riders must be 15 or older, no passengers are allowed, and the maximum speed is 8 mph. Carry a bell or horn. E-scooters are banned there year-round. Read the full text in Suffolk County Code Article IX.

Off the trails, you are on public roads, and county law applies there too. Article IX bans e-assist bikes on county or local roadways posted over 30 mph, and it bans riding on sidewalks. Every operator and passenger must wear a helmet. No one 15 or younger may operate an e-assist bike on public property or roadways. First violations can bring a fine of up to $500. State law also lets local governments regulate e-bikes once the county has a law in place, and Suffolk now does. Read Suffolk County Code Article IX before you ride.

Other corridors named in our directory include the Ocean Parkway Coastal Greenway, the Kings Park Hike and Bike trail, the Northport Rail Trail and the EPCAL Alternative Transportation Path. TrailLink describes the EPCAL path as about 3.3 miles, but that figure comes from a search snippet, so confirm it. We do not have confirmed manager or e-bike rules for the others. Look for posted signs and check the town or county page before you ride. The state rule on where e-bikes may go is in New York VTL 1242.

eBike rules in New York

New York defines an eBike as a bicycle with electric assist under Vehicle and Traffic Law 102-c. It must be 36 inches wide or less, have a motor under 750 watts, and have operable pedals. Class 1 is pedal-assist only, with assist ending at 20 mph. Class 2 may use a throttle, with no assist at 20 mph. Class 3 may use a throttle, with no assist at 25 mph. Under section 1242, Class 3 is prohibited outside a city of one million or more people.

No one under 16 may operate an eBike of any class. Riders must yield to pedestrians and ride single file on the roadway. State law allows eBikes only on highways posted at 30 mph or less, unless a local law says otherwise, and bans them on sidewalks unless a local law authorizes it. Cities, towns, and villages can set speed, helmet, and clothing rules, or prohibit eBikes with signs. New York City set a 15 mph citywide limit effective October 24, 2025, unless signs say otherwise. City Council bill Int 0377-2026 would ban eBikes in all parks. It was introduced January 29, 2026, is in committee, and is not law.

Class 3 operators must wear a helmet at any age under section 1238. Anyone under 14 on a bicycle must also wear one. The civil fine is up to $50, and it can be waived if the rider gets a helmet. The statutes we reviewed do not mention licensing or registration for eBikes, so we do not list any. Sellers must label eBikes sold or leased on or after June 1, 2022 with class, top assisted speed, and wattage. Read the full breakdown in New York eBike laws.
