Where to ride in Delaware County

Ridley Creek State Park is managed by the Pennsylvania DCNR and covers more than 2,606 acres of woodlands and meadows. Its five-mile paved multi-use trail follows Sycamore Mills Road and Forge Road. Parking lots #7, #11, #15 and #17 give access. The park allows traditional bikes and eBikes on park roads and trails designated for biking. Bikes are prohibited on unpaved hiking trails, and riders must keep safe speeds and follow posted limits. See the Ridley Creek State Park biking page for current details.

DCNR sets one statewide eBike rule for the state parks and forests it manages. An eBike is treated like a regular bike on trails open to bikes if it weighs no more than 100 pounds, has a motor of 750 watts or less, tops out at 20 mph on motor power, and has working pedals. On non-motorized trails you must pedal, and throttle-only operation is prohibited. eBikes are banned in natural areas, on yellow or orange blazed hiking trails, and on routes signed No Biking. Read the DCNR eBike policy.

The Darby Creek Trail covers 3 miles in Delaware County in three sections. Surfaces include asphalt, crushed stone, dirt, grass and gravel. The paved middle section is 1.26 miles, from Hilltop Road to Merry Place at 600 Glendale Rd in Havertown, where parking is available. No eBike rule specific to the trail was found, so the Pennsylvania default applies. Check the manager map and posted signs for changes. Trail details are on TrailLink's Darby Creek Trail page, a secondary source.

Chester Creek Trail is a rail-trail along the former Chester Creek Branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Phase I is 2.8 miles through Middletown and Aston townships, between Lenni Road and Creek Road. Trailheads are at 249 W. Knowlton Rd and 649 Mt. Alverno Rd, both in Media. No trail-specific eBike rule was found, so the state default applies. Parking at Knowlton Road has changed because of a lot extension, so check before you go. See the Chester Creek Trail site for updates.

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.
