Where to ride in Deschutes County

The Forest Service's December 2025 decision authorizes Class 1 eBikes on 161.4 miles of existing trails. Central Oregon Trail Alliance's eBike page lists the trails and the ones still closed, such as Flagline, Mrazek, Swampy Lakes and upper Whoops.

Bend's park rules (effective Aug. 1, 2025) say pedal-assist eBikes are permitted on pedestrian trails and pathways, and eBikes with throttles are limited to roads and parking areas designated for motor vehicles.

Sunriver Owners Association allows pedestrians, bicycles, Class 1 eBikes and ADA devices on its pathways, and bars Class 2 and Class 3.

eBike rules in Oregon

Oregon sorts eBikes into three classes in ORS 801.258. A Class 1 assists only while you pedal and stops assisting at 20 miles an hour. A Class 2 can be propelled by its motor without pedaling and also stops at 20. A Class 3 assists only while you pedal, stops at 28, and must have a speedometer. The statute states no motor wattage limit for an eBike; the 1,000-watt figure in the code belongs to the motor assisted scooter definition, so guides that quote it for eBikes are using a different rule. Under ORS 814.405, an electric assisted bicycle counts as a bicycle, not a motor vehicle, unless a statute says otherwise.

A rider 16 or older may ride any class without a license or other driving privilege (ORS 807.020). House Bill 4007, signed April 7, 2026, changes that on January 1, 2027: a Class 1 rider may be 14, Class 2 and Class 3 riders stay at 16, and a Class 1 or 2 rider of any age may ride in a bicycle safety program. Until then the minimum is 16 for every class. Under ORS 814.410, operating an eBike on a sidewalk is a Class D traffic violation. The state bicycle manual says eBike riders may use bicycle lanes and paths, and that cities, counties and land owners often set their own rules, especially in parks and on trails.

Oregon requires a helmet for a rider under 16 on a bicycle on a public road or premises open to the public, with a presumptive $25 fine (ORS 814.485); the state bicycle manual tells every rider under 16 to wear one. The statute borrows the human-powered bicycle definition, so the state's treatment of an eBike as a bicycle is the reason to expect it to apply. HB 4007 moves the duty to ORS 814.486 on January 1, 2027. We found no adult helmet rule and no eBike title, registration, or insurance requirement. Read our Oregon eBike laws guide, then check the sign at the trailhead.
