How to choose among the Lackawanna County listings
The five listings are not five of the same kind of business, and the card labels show it. Electro Cycle llc is listed as an electronics wholesaler at 1101 Sanderson Ave in Scranton. BikeShare Scranton is listed as a bike sharing station at 213 S 7th Ave. Cedar Bicycle is listed as a bicycle shop at 629 Pittston Ave. Chenango Point Cycles in Dalton is listed as a bicycle shop at 113 N Turnpike Rd, and Mid Valley E-Cycle in Throop is listed as a sporting goods store at 147 Dunmore St.
A category label comes from the directory record. It is not a promise of what is on the floor today, and it does not say who can service a motor or a battery. Match the business to the job: a purchase, a rental, a tune-up, or a battery question can each have a different right answer.
Cedar Bicycle carries the largest review count on this page, 107 reviews at a 4.4 rating. Several other cards have only a handful of reviews, so treat those ratings as a starting point, not a verdict. Mid Valley E-Cycle has no phone number or rating on its card, so use its website link or the details page to reach it.
Questions to ask before you buy, rent or book a repair
Call before you drive over. For repairs, give the brand, model, motor system, battery, approximate age and the exact symptom. Ask whether the shop does mechanical work, electronic diagnostics, battery evaluation, or only products it sells. If a battery is swollen, leaking, unusually hot or physically damaged, follow the manufacturer's safety instructions and do not charge it just to test the fault.
For a rental or test ride, give the date, rider heights, group size and the surface you plan to ride. Ask what equipment is included, where pickup happens and when the bike must come back. A directory card does not promise walk-up availability, and BikeShare Scranton is listed as a bike sharing station, so ask whether electric bikes are part of what it offers.
Worth asking on the phone
- Does the business service the motor and battery system on the bike you own?
- Is an appointment required, and is the part you need in stock?
- For a rental, what tire type comes with the bike for your planned surface?
- Does the bike meet the Pennsylvania pedalcycle with electric assist definition (100 pounds, 750 watts, 20 mph on motor power alone)?
- What should you bring: key, charger, purchase record, error code, or the whole bike?
A short test spin before a longer outing shows poor fit, awkward low-speed handling and weak braking. Test mounting, stopping, turning and carrying your usual load, and keep to the manufacturer's rack and passenger limits. Claim links let owners update a listing. They are not endorsements.
Where to ride in Lackawanna County
The full route notes live on the Lackawanna County Things To Do page. Here is the short version, limited to what the sources we checked actually say.
Lackawanna State Park. DCNR manages about 15 miles of multi-use trails for mountain biking here, with a total trail network listed at 20.32 miles. Trailheads are at the States Creek Mooring Area and on Rowlands, Wallsville and Austin roads. The sources do not state the surface. Abington Trail is a recommended multi-use trail that horseback riders also use, with trailer parking along Wallsville Road (PA 438). North Woods Trail is open to biking and horseback riding, and the listing notes that most trails near the campground are foot traffic only except this one. See the DCNR mountain biking page and the DCNR trail listing.
Lackawanna River Heritage Trail. News coverage describes the surface as asphalt, and that is a secondary source. Length and trailhead are not confirmed here, and we found no official e-bike rule from the trail manager. WNEP reported on July 30, 2025 that officials aimed to address e-bike safety on the trail and expected visible changes on the asphalt in coming weeks. Look for current signs and markings when you arrive. Read the WNEP report.
County park trails. Lackawanna County Parks and Recreation lists the North Pocono Trail, a hiking and biking trail on the abandoned Erie Lackawanna Railroad corridor, with 3.15 miles constructed. The county also lists Covington Park, which has hiking and biking trails and a lake trail, with a trailhead at 139 Sanko Road in Covington Township, off Route 307. McDade Park, Merli-Sarnoski Park and Aylesworth Park list trails, but the sources do not state bike use at those parks. We found no e-bike rule for any of the county park trails, so the Pennsylvania default applies and posted signs decide. The county parks page is the place to check.

eBike rules in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania does not use the Class 1, 2 and 3 system in its statute. A qualifying pedalcycle with electric assist weighs no more than 100 pounds, has two or three wheels more than 11 inches in diameter, has operable pedals, has an electric motor rated at not more than 750 watts, and cannot go faster than 20 mph on a level surface under motor power alone. The definition is in Act 154 of 2014.
Operators must be at least 16. A person under 12 must wear a pedalcycle helmet as an operator or a passenger, and there is no separate helmet rule for adults. On a sidewalk or pedalcycle path, yield to pedestrians and give an audible signal before passing. Do not ride on a sidewalk in a business district unless traffic-control devices permit it or a usable pedalcycle-only lane runs next to it. These rules sit in 75 Pa.C.S. Chapter 35. A qualifying pedalcycle with electric assist is treated as a pedalcycle, and we found no license or registration requirement for it. Our Pennsylvania eBike laws guide has the full summary.
Trail access is a separate question from the statute. DCNR's e-bike policy page says e-bikes that meet the Pennsylvania definition may use state park and forest trails where regular bikes are allowed, and that throttle-only use is not allowed on non-motorized trails. It also says e-bikes are not allowed in natural areas, on hiking trails marked with yellow or orange blazes, or on trails and roads with No Biking signs. Read the DCNR e-bike policy for the current wording, since other public lands may have different rules. Where we found no e-bike rule, as with the county park trails, the state default applies, so check posted signs.
The law may change. HB 2703 was introduced on July 14, 2026 and referred to the House Transportation Committee on July 15, 2026. It would adopt three classes, let municipalities regulate e-bikes, and raise fines. Senate Resolution 322 would direct a Joint State Government Commission study. As of October 8, 2026 neither had been enacted. See the bill text and the WITF report.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I find eBike shops in Lackawanna County?
This directory lists 5 businesses in Scranton, Dalton and Throop. Use the city chips, then call to confirm hours, stock, rentals and repair work before you drive over.
Do I need a license to ride an eBike in Lackawanna County?
Pennsylvania treats a qualifying pedalcycle with electric assist as a pedalcycle, and we found no license or registration requirement for it. The operator must be at least 16, and anyone under 12 must wear a helmet. See the Pennsylvania eBike laws guide for sources.
Can I ride an eBike at Lackawanna State Park?
DCNR's e-bike policy allows e-bikes that meet the Pennsylvania definition on trails where regular bikes are allowed, and throttle-only use is not allowed on non-motorized trails. E-bikes are not allowed in natural areas, on yellow or orange blazed hiking trails, or on trails with No Biking signs. Confirm the current rule with DCNR before you go.
Do the Lackawanna County parks have their own eBike rules?
We did not find a county eBike ordinance or a specific eBike rule for the county park trails, so the Pennsylvania default applies. Follow posted signs. The sources we checked do not state bike use for the trails at McDade Park, Merli-Sarnoski Park or Aylesworth Park.
Do the directory cards confirm rentals or battery repair?
No. A card is a contact lead. Call with the bike brand, motor system, date and intended route, and ask the business to confirm the service before you travel.
Is Pennsylvania changing its eBike law?
HB 2703 was introduced on July 14, 2026 and would adopt three classes and let municipalities regulate eBikes. As of October 8, 2026 it had not been enacted, so the current Pennsylvania definition still applies.
