Where to ride in Brown County
The Fox River State Trail is the main corridor for Green Bay riders. Brown County Parks and the Wisconsin DNR manage it. The trailhead is at Porlier Street and Adams Street in Green Bay. The surface is asphalt to Lasee Road, then limestone screenings farther south. The trail is open 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. year-round. For eBikes, Class 1 and Class 3 are allowed at speeds under 15 mph while the motor is engaged. Class 2 with the motor running is not on the allowed list. Riders 16 and older need a state trail pass. Current details are on the Brown County Parks Fox River State Trail page.
The Mountain-Bay State Trail is a long rail-trail, 83 miles in total, with 13 miles inside Brown County. Brown County Parks manages the county section along with the Wisconsin DNR. Brown County describes the surface as compacted crusher dust on one page and compacted crushed limestone on another, so expect firm fine stone rather than pavement. The trail is open dawn to dusk. Brown County says eBikes are allowed if they have fully operative pedals and stay within the 15 mph limit. All motorized vehicles, including electric motorbikes, are barred. Riders 16 and older need a state trail pass. See the Brown County state trails page.
Reforestation Camp is the county's mountain bike area, with 19 miles of bike trails. Brown County Parks manages it. The trailhead is at Reforestation Camp, and permits are available there. A permit is required for riders 16 and older, at $6.00 daily or $30.00 annually. The rule is stricter than on the state trails: only Class 1 eBikes are allowed. A Class 2 or Class 3 bike should stay home. The surface is not published, so ask at the trailhead or check the park page. The Brown County mountain bike trails page has the current permit details.
The Devils River Trail is named in the 2021 Brown County Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan as one of three rails-to-trails facilities in the county. Its manager, length, surface and trailhead are not published there, and no eBike rule was found, so state law applies. Follow any posted signs, and the numbers also disagree on the Fox River State Trail: Brown County Parks says 20 miles to the Calumet County line, and the DNR says 25 miles. Check the Brown County bicycle and pedestrian plan for the county's wider network.
eBike rules in Wisconsin
Wisconsin defines an electric bicycle in Wisconsin Statute 340.01(15ph) as a bicycle with fully operative pedals and a motor of 750 watts or less. The law sets three classes. A Class 1 eBike gives pedal assist only, and the assist stops at 20 mph. A Class 2 eBike may be powered by the motor alone, and the motor gives no assist at 20 mph. A Class 3 eBike gives pedal assist that stops at 28 mph. The same statute excludes electric bicycles from the definition of a motor vehicle.
Under Wisconsin Statute 346.806, an eBike has the same rights and duties as a bicycle. That covers roads and bike lanes. The statute also lets you ride with the motor on bikeways run by the DNR, a municipality, a county, or the DOT, subject to 349.18(4). That section lets a municipality or county ban motor use on bikeways it controls by ordinance. The DNR can do the same by rule. No one under 16 may operate a Class 3 eBike. A passenger is allowed on a Class 3 built for passengers. The sources we cite do not address sidewalks, so check local ordinances. The statute's history shows 2019 Wisconsin Act 34, and no pending change was published as of October 9, 2026.
Under 346.806, eBikes are not subject to the license, registration, title, or financial responsibility rules in chapters 341 to 344. You do not need a driver's license or plate to ride one. The sources we cite set no statewide helmet rule for eBikes. Our Wisconsin guide says there is no blanket helmet requirement for riders under 18. Wearing a helmet is still a smart habit on any eBike. For a plain-language summary, read our Wisconsin eBike laws guide.

Can I take any eBike to Reforestation Camp?
No. Brown County Parks allows electric bicycles at Reforestation Camp only if they are Class 1. Class 2 and Class 3 bikes are not allowed on those mountain bike trails. Riders 16 and older need a permit, $6.00 for a day or $30.00 for the year, sold at the trailhead.
What is the eBike rule on the Mountain-Bay State Trail?

Do I need a trail pass for the state trails?
Yes, if you are 16 or older and bicycling on the Fox River State Trail or the Mountain-Bay State Trail. Walking is free, while Reforestation Camp uses a separate permit instead, also for riders 16 and older. Younger riders do not need a pass or permit on these trails.
Can I rent an eBike in Brown County?
