Where to ride in Sevier County
Riverwalk Greenway is the main paved ride in Pigeon Forge at 3.8 miles. Pigeon Forge Parks & Recreation manages it, and the surface is asphalt and concrete. Trailheads are at the Pigeon Forge Community Center and Patriot Park. TrailLink's Riverwalk Greenway page lists it as open 24 hours because of lighting and notes benches at intervals. No separate eBike rule is published for the Riverwalk, so Tennessee's default applies. Class 1 and Class 2 may ride where bicycles may, and Class 3 stays off paths unless the path runs beside a street or the managing body permits it. Ask a Pigeon Forge shop which class a rental is.
Gatlinburg Trail has the clearest eBike rule in the county. Great Smoky Mountains National Park permits only Class 1 and Class 2 eBikes and sets a 20 mph limit for all bikes, according to the National Park Service biking page. The trail is 1.3 miles of boardwalk, crushed stone and dirt. Start at the River Rd trailhead in Gatlinburg or at Sugarlands Visitor Center. The park opens only three trails to bicycles, and Gatlinburg Trail is one of them. The Park Service says the park has no mountain biking trails, so plan on a short, easy ride.
Veterans Boulevard Greenway in Sevierville is an asphalt route, and its length depends on who you ask. The City of Sevierville states 6.0 miles one way on its Veterans Boulevard Greenway page, while TrailLink lists 4 miles. Parking is at the Hospital Pavilion on Millwood along Blanton Drive, or on Millwood Drive across from Le Conte Medical Center. The city publishes no separate eBike rule for the greenway, so the Tennessee default applies. The Sevierville Greenway System connects at Centerview Rd, but its length and trailhead are not published. Use the city map for a longer ride.
Pigeon Forge's greenway sheet is the strictest written text in the county. It covers more than 6 miles of trails with trailheads at the Community Center, The Island, Patriot Park and Wear Farm Park. Hours are sunrise to sunset. Bikers may not exceed 15 mph, must yield to pedestrians, keep right and pass left, and should announce themselves before passing. The sheet says motorized vehicles are not allowed and names no eBike class, so ask Pigeon Forge Parks & Recreation whether your eBike counts. Full text is in the Pigeon Forge greenway map and info sheet.
eBike rules in Tennessee
Tennessee sorts eBikes into three classes. Class 1 is pedal assist with a top assisted speed of 20 mph. Class 2 has a throttle and also tops out at 20 mph. Class 3 is pedal assist with a top assisted speed of 28 mph. The rules for all three sit in the state code, including TCA 55-8-306, which covers where each class may be ridden. Know your bike's class before you ride, because the class decides where you can go.
Class 1 and Class 2 eBikes may go where bicycles may go. That includes bike lanes, shoulders, and paths or trails for bicyclists. On roadways, eBikes are restricted to the same extent as bicycles. A local government, by resolution or ordinance, or a state agency, by rule or policy, may regulate or prohibit Class 1 and 2 on a path or trail for public safety. Class 3 is not allowed on any path or trail unless it is within or adjacent to the street or highway, or the governing body or state agency permits it. SB 1782 (Public Chapter 651, signed April 2026) also lets local governments and state agencies regulate or prohibit Class 1 and 2 on parts of streets and highways where bicycles travel. It clarifies the Class 3 path ban. Effective July 1, 2026, the minimum age to operate a Class 3 on a street or highway rose from 14 to 16. Riders under 16 may ride a Class 3 only as a passenger.
Every operator and passenger on a Class 3 eBike must wear a helmet. The general bicycle helmet rule for riders under 16 (TCA 55-52-105) also applies. Tennessee does not require a license or registration for eBikes. Local rules can still change where you may ride, so check with the city, county, or park before heading out.
