Where to ride in Allegheny County
The Montour Trail is run by the Montour Trail Council, a trail organization with its own rules page. Speed is limited to 15 mph. eBikes are allowed only if they are pedal-assist, under 750 W, under 100 pounds and no wider than 36 inches. Riders must be at least 16, and the trail is open dawn to dusk. Motorcycles, mopeds and e-scooters are not allowed. Read the full list in the Montour Trail rules before buying a throttle-equipped bike.
The Great Allegheny Passage starts at Point State Park in Pittsburgh and ends in Cumberland, Maryland. TrailLink lists it at 153.22 miles, mixed asphalt and crushed stone. For eBikes, the guidance is to follow DCNR policy on state segments plus any local trail rules. The National Park Service page, found through search and not verified here, reportedly allows pedal-assist bikes where bikes are allowed. See the Great Allegheny Passage on TrailLink for the route itself.
The Three Rivers Heritage Trail follows riverfronts through Pittsburgh. TrailLink lists it at 26.6 miles of asphalt and crushed stone. It is the easiest corridor to combine with a shop visit, since 30 of our 46 listings are in Pittsburgh. Our fact set does not include a single manager rule for eBikes on this trail, so check posted signs and the trail's own pages. Details and maps are on the Three Rivers Heritage Trail page at TrailLink.
Point State Park is managed by DCNR, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. DCNR allows eBikes that meet the state definition, meaning 100 pounds or less, 750 W or less, working pedals and a motor limited to 20 mph, wherever regular bikes are allowed. On non-motorized trails, only pedal-assist is permitted. Natural areas, yellow or orange blazed hiking trails and No Biking trails are closed to them. Read the DCNR eBike policy for the details.
eBike rules in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania does not use the Class 1, 2 and 3 system in its statute. Instead, 75 Pa.C.S. 102, as amended by Act 154 of 2014, defines a "pedalcycle with electric assist." It is a vehicle weighing not more than 100 pounds with two or three wheels more than 11 inches in diameter. It has operable pedals and an electric motor system rated at not more than 750 watts. On a level surface, powered by the motor only, it must not go faster than 20 mph. The law treats a pedalcycle with electric assist as a pedalcycle.
Because an eBike that fits the definition counts as a pedalcycle, it follows the rules for pedalcycles. Under Chapter 35 of Title 75, section 3508 says riders on sidewalks or pedalcycle paths must yield to pedestrians and give an audible signal. Riding on a sidewalk in a business district is barred unless traffic-control devices permit it or a usable pedalcycle-only lane is adjacent. Section 3514 bars anyone under 16 from operating one. A bill, HB 2703, was introduced July 14, 2026, and referred to House Transportation on July 15. It would adopt three classes and let municipalities regulate eBikes. It is not enacted as of October 8, 2026.
Under section 3510, riders under 12 must wear a pedalcycle helmet, whether they operate the bike or ride as a passenger. The statute has no helmet rule for adults, though wearing one is still smart. An eBike that meets the definition needs no license or registration, because it is a pedalcycle. HB 2703 would also raise fines and bar license, registration and insurance requirements, according to WITF's report on HB 2703 and SR 322. Check the current text before you ride.

Frequently asked questions
Can I ride an eBike on the Montour Trail?
Yes, if it is pedal-assist only. The Montour Trail rules require under 750 W, under 100 pounds, a width of 36 inches or less and a safe speed, with a 15 mph limit. Throttle-only propulsion does not fit that rule. The trail is open dawn to dusk. See the Montour Trail rules.
How old do I have to be to ride an eBike in Allegheny County?
Pennsylvania law bars anyone under 16 from operating a pedalcycle with electric assist. The Montour Trail Council repeats the 16 minimum on its rules page. Riders under 12 must wear a helmet as operator or passenger. Arrowhead Trail's Peters Township section asks for helmets under 21.
Do I need a license or registration for an eBike?
Not for a qualifying bike. In Pennsylvania a pedalcycle with electric assist is a pedalcycle, so no license or registration applies. The bike must weigh 100 pounds or less, have a motor of 750 W or less, working pedals and a 20 mph motor limit. See Pennsylvania eBike laws.
Is there a Class 1, 2 or 3 system here?
No. Pennsylvania statute does not use the three-class system. A bill, HB 2703, would add classes. It was introduced July 14, 2026, and referred to House Transportation the next day. As of October 8, 2026 it had not been enacted, so the current definition still applies.
