Where to ride in Henrico County
Henrico's biggest eBike draw is the Virginia Capital Trail, a 51.7-mile paved path that runs through the county between Richmond and Williamsburg, with access near Dorey Park on the east side. The Virginia Capital Trail Foundation manages the route and its own rules only condone Class 1 and Class 2 eBikes, since the trail's posted speed limit is 20 mph; Class 3 eBikes, which can reach 28 mph, are not condoned. Shops in this directory can point you to the nearest access point. Read the Foundation's policy at Virginia Capital Trail rules.
The Fall Line Trail is a paved, 12-foot-wide shared-use path under construction between Ashland and Petersburg; Henrico's finished segment runs about 7.5 miles and was built in eight phases. Henrico County Public Works manages this stretch, with access near the Spring Park section and a planned trailhead at Longdale Recreation Center. No county page posts a separate eBike rule for this trail, so the state's general class rules for eBikes apply here the same as on a public road. See the project page at Fall Line Trail, Henrico County Public Works.
Deep Run Park, off Ridgefield Parkway, has 3.4 miles of paved trail plus a separate natural-surface perimeter loop, managed by Henrico County's Division of Recreation and Parks; park at the Deep Run Recreation Center lot. On the east side, a roughly three-quarter-mile paved connector links Dorey Park to the Virginia Capital Trail. Neither park page posts its own eBike rule, so the state default applies inside the parks; the Trail Foundation's Class 1 and Class 2 only policy takes over once you reach the Capital Trail itself. Details: Deep Run Park, Henrico County.
On the west side, Tuckahoe Creek Park sits on the Henrico/Goochland line with boardwalk and trail sections built in two phases, in 2016 and 2020; a nonprofit separately promotes a larger 6-mile 'Tuckahoe Creek Trail' between West Broad Street and Patterson Avenue, but that figure is not confirmed on any official county page. Three Lakes Park and Nature Center, off Sausiluta Drive, has about a mile of newly paved trail circling its lakes, with a nature center that reopened in September 2025. Henrico County manages both parks; no eBike-specific rule is posted for either. See Tuckahoe Creek Park, Henrico County.
eBike rules in Virginia
Virginia defines an "electric power-assisted bicycle" in Va. Code 46.2-100. The law sets three classes. Class 1 is pedal assist only, and the motor stops helping at 20 mph. Class 2 has a motor that may move the bike without pedaling, and it also stops helping at 20 mph. Class 3 is pedal assist only and stops helping at 28 mph. The motor must be 750 watts or less, and the bike must have operable pedals. Know your class before you ride, because the rules differ by class.
Under Va. Code 46.2-904.1 and 46.2-908.1, compliant eBikes have the rights and duties of bicycles. They are generally allowed where bicycles are, including roads, shoulders, bike lanes and shared-use paths. A locality or state agency may restrict Class 1 or Class 2 eBikes on a path after notice and hearing. It may prohibit Class 3 eBikes on a particular path. A person under 14 may operate a Class 3 only under the immediate supervision of someone at least 18. Sidewalk riding is set locally, so check city or county rules.
Class 3 operators and passengers must wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet that meets CPSC or ASTM standards. A Class 3 eBike must also have a speedometer. Compliant eBikes need no driver's license, registration, title, insurance or license plate. Each eBike should carry a manufacturer label showing its class.

Frequently asked questions
Which Henrico trails limit eBikes to Class 1 and Class 2?
The Virginia Capital Trail, because the Trail Foundation's own rules only condone Class 1 and Class 2 eBikes on the path, citing its 20 mph posted speed limit; Class 3 eBikes are not condoned there. Where the Dorey Park connector joins the Capital Trail, the same policy applies.
Can I ride an eBike on a sidewalk in Henrico County?
County ordinance bans sidewalk use for most motorized vehicles but specifically allows bicycles, electric power-assisted bicycles, and electric personal assistive mobility devices, and other motorized devices, like gas scooters, are not allowed on sidewalks.
Are rental eBikes in Henrico County limited to a lower speed?
Henrico's Shared Mobility Device Demonstration Project caps permitted rental and shared eBikes at 15 mph, bars them from roads posted above 25 mph, and requires riders to be 18 or older and wear a helmet. This program covers permitted shared fleets, not personally owned eBikes.
Which Henrico eBike rule is the strictest?
The Virginia Capital Trail Foundation's own path rules are the most restrictive: only Class 1 and Class 2 eBikes are condoned, and Class 3 models, capable of 28 mph, are not condoned anywhere on the 51.7-mile trail, since the posted trail speed limit is 20 mph.
Does Henrico have a posted rule for Deep Run Park or Three Lakes Park?
No. Henrico's park pages for Deep Run Park and Three Lakes Park and Nature Center do not post a separate eBike rule, so the state's general class rules apply inside those parks the same as they would on a public trail or road.
Can anyone under 18 ride an eBike bought or rented in Henrico County?
Henrico's permitted Shared Mobility Device Demonstration Project requires rental eBike and e-scooter riders to be 18 or older. That age rule covers only permitted shared and rental fleets; it does not apply to a personally owned eBike, which follows Virginia's general rules instead.
