North Dakota eBike rules snapshot
North Dakota uses three electric bicycle classes. N.D.C.C. §39-01-01 defines an electric bicycle as a bicycle with fully operable pedals, a saddle or seat, an electric motor of 750 watts or fewer, and one of three classes. Class 1 is pedal-assist that stops at 20 mph. Class 2 may propel without pedaling and stops at 20 mph. Class 3 is pedal-assist that stops at 28 mph. Bicycle includes an electric bicycle under the same section.
N.D.C.C. §39-10.1-09 is the operation rule. Manufacturers must affix a class, speed, and wattage label. Equipment follows 16 CFR part 1512. The motor must disengage when you stop pedaling or apply the brakes. You may operate an electric bicycle on any bicycle path or multi-use path unless a governmental entity having jurisdiction prohibits it. A Class 3 machine needs a functioning speedometer. An individual under 18 may not operate a Class 3 unless wearing a safety helmet. Land-manager signs still win. Read our North Dakota eBike laws snapshot, then the sign. Gold follows the statute, not a stale blog line.
Cavalier pavement and posted Pembina Gorge State Recreation Area roads are the honest Pembina start. Confirm current hours on the North Dakota Parks and Recreation page the morning you ride. I-29 is limited access.
Hardwood hills hold ice later than prairie. Dawn in winter. Carry a layer. An electric bicycle under §39-01-01 does not open a closed SRA gate. Native-soil gorge cuts stay with the land manager under §39-10.1-09(5).
This directory is thin. Call the county card before you trailer from Grand Forks expecting a walk-up fleet. A directory listing is a phone, not today's inventory.

§39-10.1-09 lets a matching electric bicycle use a bicycle path or multi-use path unless a jurisdiction posts a ban. The sign on Pembina Gorge SRA wins over a class sticker. Class 3 under 18 needs a helmet.
I-29 and ND 5 connectors are traffic, not path days. Stick to posted SRA roads and lit town streets. June through September is the honest hardwood window. Call Parks and Recreation before you plan a full gorge day.
