Where to ride in Rock County
This directory is for shops. The Rock County Things To Do page is for ride planning. Two corridors are sourced well enough to name here, and both start in or near Janesville.
Ice Age Trail, Janesville Segment. The Ice Age Trail Alliance 2026 Janesville itinerary lists this segment at 10.3 miles. It follows the City of Janesville's paved trail system, links parks as an urban greenbelt, and includes downtown Janesville. The itinerary is the Janesville itinerary PDF. Dogs are not permitted on Janesville parks or trails, including the Ice Age Trail, from May 15 to September 15, so plan a summer ride without one.
Peace Trail. This is a paved asphalt path along the Rock River south from Janesville toward Afton. The length depends on the source. wisconsinbiketrails.com lists 7.5 miles from Janesville to Afton. TrailLink lists 12.3 miles to Big Hill Park in Beloit, including short on-road sections. Both are secondary listings, so treat the mileage as approximate and check with the trail manager before you plan a turnaround.
We did not verify a Rock County, Janesville, or Beloit e-bike ordinance for either route. The Wisconsin state rules below apply, and riders should follow posted signs. If a sign or a park notice says no motors, that sign wins over anything on this page.
Choosing an eBike shop in Rock County
The county has six listings: five in Janesville and one in Evansville. The business category on each card is a useful first filter. Velocity Multi-Sport & Cycling, The Powered Pedaler LLC, Trek Janesville, and Shifting Gears Bike Shop are listed as bicycle shops. Janesville Bike Barn is listed as a bicycle repair shop. Rock County Cycles is listed as a motorcycle shop.
A category is a hint, not a promise. A bicycle shop may sell and service eBikes, or it may only handle conventional bikes. A repair shop may take a flat tire and a brake adjustment but not a motor fault. A motorcycle shop may not work on bicycle drive systems at all. The only way to know is to call, so use the phone number on the card and ask the question you actually have.
Ratings on the cards come from public reviews and vary in sample size. Trek Janesville shows 4.9 from 336 reviews. The Powered Pedaler LLC shows 5.0 from 18 reviews, and Janesville Bike Barn shows 5.0 from 4 reviews. A small review count tells you less than a large one, so use ratings to shortlist and a phone call to decide.
Evansville has one listing, Shifting Gears Bike Shop at 13 W Main St. If you live in or near Evansville, that is the nearest card on this page. Check the map and the shop's website for the drive, since this page does not state distances between towns.
Questions to ask before you visit
- Do you sell or service eBikes, or only conventional bicycles?
- Can you work on my motor and battery system, or only the mechanical parts?
- Do I need an appointment, and is the part I need in stock?
- If I want to rent or test ride, what class is the bike and what tires does it have?
- What should I bring: the key, the charger, the purchase record, an error code, or the whole bike?
When you call, give the brand, the model, the approximate age of the bike, and the exact symptom. "It cuts out on hills" is more useful than "it is broken." If you are shopping rather than repairing, say how you plan to ride, such as a commute, errands, or weekend trail miles, and give your height so the shop can steer you to a frame that fits.
Repairs, batteries, and test rides
Battery problems deserve extra care. If a battery is swollen, leaking, unusually hot, or physically damaged, stop using it and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions. Do not charge it just to test the fault. Tell the shop about the problem on the phone before you carry the battery inside.
A short test ride before you commit to a purchase or a rental shows fit and handling problems early. Check mounting and dismounting, low-speed turning, braking, and how the bike feels with the load you plan to carry. A comfortable bike that you control easily is worth more than extra advertised range you cannot use confidently.
Before you head out, check the day's conditions and charge the battery fully. Plan a turnaround point that leaves reserve power for the return, especially on the longer Peace Trail figures. After you compare shops, the ride guide on the Rock County Things To Do page picks up where this directory leaves off. Claim links on the cards let owners update a listing. They are not endorsements.
eBike rules in Wisconsin
Wisconsin recognizes three eBike classes. Class 1 is pedal-assist up to 20 mph. Class 2 is throttle-capable up to 20 mph. Class 3 is pedal-assist up to 28 mph. A compliant eBike is treated as a bicycle and does not require a driver license, registration, or insurance.
Wisconsin does not impose a blanket statewide helmet requirement on every rider under 18. Instead, no one under 16 may operate a Class 3 eBike. Wisconsin generally gives eBikes the same rights and duties as bicycles under Wisconsin Statute §346.806.
State and local authorities may regulate access on individual bikeways, so check the managing agency before taking motor assistance onto a path. Knowing your bike's class matters because Class 3 bikes are sometimes barred from multi-use paths that allow Class 1 and Class 2. Read the full rundown in our Wisconsin eBike laws guide, then check posted signs where you ride.
