Where to ride in Montgomery County

The Schuylkill River Trail is the first corridor many Montgomery County riders think of. Montgomery County manages its county section under the parks rules, Ordinance 25-2. That ordinance names the Schuylkill River Trail as a designated area where pedal-assisted eBikes are permitted. The bike must weigh under 100 pounds, have a motor of 750 W or less, have functional pedals and not assist past 15 mph. Yield to pedestrians and horses, and warn before you pass. Read the current Montgomery County parks rules and regulations before you ride, because designated areas can change.

The Perkiomen Trail is the second named corridor in the county rules. Like the Schuylkill River Trail, it is a county-managed trail where pedal-assisted eBikes are allowed in designated areas. The same limits apply: under 100 pounds, 750 W maximum, working pedals and no more than 15 mph. Throttle-only riding is not what the ordinance describes, so treat pedals as required. Riders share this trail with walkers and horses, and the county says to yield and signal when passing. The county's rules page for parks and trails is the place to check details.

The Chester Valley Trail is managed by Chester County, but it extends into Montgomery County near King of Prussia. That makes it handy for shoppers at the King Of Prussia shops, which have 3 listings here. Chester County says pedal-assisted eBikes are allowed as defined by Pennsylvania law and the county ordinance. Because the trail crosses a county line, read the manager's page before you go. The Chester Valley Trail page from Chester County is the source we use.

The Pennypack Trail and the 202 Parkway Trail also appear on our route guide, but the county and state pages we checked do not list their eBike rules, so treat them with caution. If a trail is county-managed, the county parks rules are the starting point, and a municipality or another agency may manage some segments. Look for posted signs at each access point. Where a sign says no eBikes or no motorized vehicles, follow it. The county's parks rules and regulations explain what applies on county land.

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.
