eBike shops by city
The 19 shop cards below are grouped by city: Plano, McKinney, Frisco, Richardson, Allen and Dallas. Cards include bike shops, repair shops, rental services and one dedicated electric bicycle store.
Where to ride in Collin County
Plano's best-known paved corridor is Bluebonnet Trail. It runs 6.3 miles on concrete, typically at least 8 feet wide, according to AllTrails. That listing names the City of Plano as the managing agency. Parking is off Chase Oaks Boulevard at the east end. No eBike rule is published for it, so the Texas default applies: eBikes go where regular bicycles go.
Allen publishes the most trail detail in the county. The City of Allen trail table lists Cottonwood Trail at 5.02 miles, Watters Trail at 3.94 miles and Allen Station Trail at 1.67 miles. All three are city greenbelt trails. The City of Allen trails page does not state surfaces for them or any separate eBike rule. Expect normal bicycle rules and watch for posted signs.
Frisco's Caddo Trail is short but easy to reach. TrailLink lists it at 1.1 miles of concrete between Wade Boulevard and Timber Ridge Drive, with a trailhead at Otis Spears Elementary School next to JC Grant Park. The listing does not name a managing agency. See the Caddo Trail page on TrailLink. No eBike rule is published, so state law applies.
Trails in Collin County are mostly run by cities, not the county. The Collin County Regional Trails Master Plan says trails are implemented and managed predominantly by the 31 municipalities. It does not set eBike classes or speed limits. That means the city or park manager for each trail is the place to check for local posted rules.
eBike rules in Texas
Texas defines an eBike in Transportation Code 664.001. It must have fully operable pedals and a motor under 750 watts, with a top assisted speed of 28 mph or less. Class 1 is pedal-assist only and stops assisting at 20 mph. Class 2 can move the bike without pedaling, also up to 20 mph. Class 3 is pedal-assist that goes past 20 mph but stays under 28 mph. Section 541.201 says an eBike is not a motor vehicle, which is why car rules do not apply to it.
Under Transportation Code 551.106, TxDOT or a local authority may not ban eBikes on a highway used mainly by motor vehicles, or anywhere regular bicycles are allowed. The exception is a path closed to motor vehicles with a natural-surface tread, meaning cleared or graded native soil with no surfacing. Those managers may restrict eBikes there. Local authorities may also prohibit bicycles on sidewalks and set bicycle speed limits on paths. A Class 3 rider must be at least 15, though a passenger under 15 is allowed. The law has no age minimum for Class 1 or Class 2. Bills HB 4089 and SB 1865 in 2025 were left pending, so nothing changed.
Texas has no statewide helmet law for eBike riders. Local rules or a trail manager may still ask for one, and wearing one is smart on any eBike. Under Section 551.107, Subtitles A, B, and D of the Transportation Code do not apply, so there is no driver license, vehicle registration, or similar requirement for these bikes. The motor must stop assisting when you quit pedaling or squeeze the brakes. Check your county or city for local rules before you ride. For a fuller walkthrough, read our guide to Texas eBike laws.
