eBike shops by city
The 19 listings below are grouped by city, with the largest groups in Lynnwood and Everett. Most are general bicycle shops, so ask about eBike sales, service and parts before you make the trip.
Where to ride in Snohomish County
The Centennial Trail is the county's main long-distance corridor. Snohomish County Parks manages it and lists it at 30.0 miles. The paved tread is 10 feet wide, with a 6-foot natural surface equestrian trail running parallel. The City of Snohomish says it starts in Snohomish and ends in Skagit County north of Arlington. Trailheads include Machias at 1624 Virginia St, Pilchuck at 5801 S. Machias Rd and the North Trailhead at 32328 SR 9 in Arlington. The county page says no motorized vehicles are allowed. It gives no eBike class rule, so state law is the default and County Parks is the place to ask about your bike.
The Interurban Trail North crosses several jurisdictions. It is a joint project of Snohomish County, the cities of Everett and Lynnwood, and Public Utility District No. 1 of Snohomish County. County Parks oversees the stretch south of 112th St SE and north of Butternut Road, which has no trailheads. In Lynnwood, parking is at South Lynnwood Park and Lynnwood Transit Center. The Lynnwood Interurban Trail page calls it a 12-foot wide hard-surfaced non-motorized trail. No eBike class or speed rule is published there, so state law applies. Length is disputed: the county lists 11.8 paved miles and TrailLink lists 31.3.
The City of Snohomish runs three short paths near downtown. The Riverfront Trail is a 1/3-mile accessible asphalt path with trailheads at Cady Park, Avenue A and Avenue D, and a public restroom at the foot of Avenue B. The city's Interurban Trail is a 1/3-mile compact gravel path between Maple Avenue and Avenue A. Riverview Wildlife Refuge is a 1/2-mile compact crushed rock path on levees, with its trailhead on First Street. The City of Snohomish trails page publishes no eBike rule for any of them, so state law is the default. Slow down and expect walkers.
The North Creek Trail appears on Community Transit's bike trail map alongside the Centennial and Interurban trails. The Community Transit bike trail maps page does not name a manager, length, surface, trailhead or eBike rule for it. Treat those details as unknown until you check the manager map or posted signs. Snohomish County, Lynnwood and the City of Snohomish publish no eBike-specific ordinance on their trail pages. State rules still apply: no license is needed, and riders under 16 may not operate a Class 3 eBike.
eBike rules in Washington
Washington defines an electric-assisted bicycle in RCW 46.04.169. It has two or three wheels, a saddle, fully operative pedals, and a motor of 750 watts or less. Class 1 is pedal-assist only and the assist stops at 20 mph. Class 2 can propel the bike on motor power alone, with no assist at 20 mph. Class 3 is pedal-assist that stops at 28 mph and must have a speedometer. A 2026 amendment (2026 c 159) excludes any vehicle that can exceed 20 mph on motor alone. It also excludes vehicles designed or intended to be easily configured to fall outside the definition, such as with a switch or software setting.
Under RCW 46.61.710, eBikes get the same access to highways and parking as regular bicycles. Class 1 and Class 2 eBikes may use shared-use paths and bicycle-designated parts of highways, but local jurisdictions or state agencies may restrict or limit that use. Class 3 eBikes may ride on facilities within or next to a highway. They are not allowed on shared-use paths unless the local jurisdiction permits it. Class 3 eBikes also stay off sidewalks unless there is no alternative as part of a path or a local ordinance allows it. Riders under 16 may not operate a Class 3 eBike.
Washington has no statewide eBike helmet law. Helmet rules, where they exist, are set locally, so check the city or county where you ride. A driver's license is not required to operate an eBike, according to RCW 46.20.500. We found no state registration requirement for eBikes. If you ride on a sidewalk where it is allowed, you have the rights and duties of a pedestrian under RCW 46.61.755. For more detail, read our guide to Washington eBike laws.
