Where to ride in Greenwood County
Lake Greenwood tourism says the Heritage Trail follows Greenwood's abandoned railroad lines for 2.5 miles, with a trailhead on South Main Street next to The Palmetto Bank. Sctrails.net lists 2.7 miles and the Greenwood parks district calls it a two-mile trail, so the sources do not agree on length.
The parks district says the Cambridge Gateway Trail is a one-mile, eight-foot-wide packed stone dust trail designed for pedestrians and bicycles, running on West Cambridge Avenue from West Cambridge Park to the 72 Bypass. It links to a 1.4-mile West Cambridge trail.
Lake Greenwood State Park lists a Scenic Shoreline Trail of 3.4 miles for hiking and biking. The park said its hiking trails were open, with work continuing on the West Shoreline Loop.
eBike rules in South Carolina
South Carolina has no Class 1, 2, 3 system. S.C. Code § 56-1-10(29) defines "electric-assist bicycles" and "bicycles with helper motors" as low-speed electrically assisted bicycles with two or three wheels, fully operable pedals, a motor of no more than 750 watts (one horsepower), and a top motor-powered speed of less than 20 miles an hour for a 170-pound rider on a paved level surface. They must meet 16 C.F.R. Part 1512, and the motor must disengage or stop when the brakes are applied or the rider stops pedaling. The statute says these bikes are not mopeds.
The maker or distributor must permanently label each bike with its wattage and maximum assisted speed, and an owner may not remove or tamper with the label. If a user modifies the bike to change its speed, the user must replace the label. Under § 56-5-3520, added by Act 114 of 2020, a rider of a bicycle with a helper motor is subject to every statute that applies to bicyclists, and § 56-5-3420 gives a bicyclist the rights and duties of a vehicle driver on the roadway. The statute defines no class and gives no rule for a bike that assists above 20 miles an hour, such as a 28 mph "Class 3" model, so we can say only that it falls outside the quoted definition.
As bicyclists, riders keep right as practicable and ride no more than two abreast on a roadway (§ 56-5-3430), and at night need a white front lamp visible 500 feet and a red rear reflector (§ 56-5-3470). We found no statewide eBike age minimum and no eBike-specific helmet statute. The only state helmet section we found, § 56-5-3660, sits in the motorcycle article and requires anyone under 21 to wear an approved helmet on a "two-wheeled motorized vehicle", and it does not name electric-assist bicycles. The text does not say whether it reaches them, so riders under 21 are safest in a helmet. Each city, county, park, and trail manager can add its own rules. Read our South Carolina eBike laws guide, then the sign at the trailhead.
