Where to ride your eBike in Bend

The easiest place to start in Bend is the Deschutes River Trail, which runs over 12 miles through town and along the river. The Old Mill Reach is 2.7 miles of wide, paved, relatively level trail through the Old Mill area, with three footbridges that make easy loops. The South Canyon Reach is 3.0 miles, with trail on both sides of the river joined by a footbridge. It is only 1.17 miles paved, with 1.60 miles of compacted gravel and 0.30 miles of natural surface, so take it slower and prefer wider tires.

Bend Park and Recreation District allows only pedal-assist eBikes on its trails, and some pedestrian-only sections bar bicycles entirely, so watch the signs. Throttle eBikes in Bend parks are limited to roads and parking areas. West of town, the Phil's Trail Complex on Deschutes National Forest is open to Class 1 eBikes only, including Phil's Trail, Ben's Trail and Kent's Trail. Eager to go further? Skip Flagline and Swampy Lakes, which stay closed to all eBikes. The forest trails are also closed to eBikes from December 1 to March 31.

Renting? Tell the shop which trails you plan to ride so they hand you a Class 1. Electric Bike Rentals by WFR, Pine Mountain Sports and Cog Wild Bicycle Tours & Shuttles all offer rentals in Bend. For more routes, see the Deschutes County eBike things to do guide, or browse every shop on the Deschutes County eBike shops page.

eBike rules in Bend & Oregon

Oregon recognizes three eBike classes. Class 1 (pedal assist only) and Class 2 (throttle allowed) stop assisting at 20 mph, while Class 3 stops at 28 mph and must have a speedometer. eBikes are treated as bicycles and need no registration. Riders must be 16 for every class until January 1, 2027, when the Class 1 minimum drops to 14. Check local rules for helmets and insurance. Pack a helmet and lock, grab some eBike accessories, and if you're transporting it, a bike rack for your car before you ride.
