E-Bikes

Ebike

e-Bike use throughout the Ridge to Rivers system is restricted to trails and roads that currently allow motorized use with the exception of other power driven mobility devices (OPDMD)(additional information provided below). Approximately 52 miles of motorized trails and primitive roads are accessible for e-bikes. Federal agency partners prohibit e-bikes and other motorized devices on all trails that cross BLM and USFS land. 

Trails and roads open to e-bikes: 

The City of Boise does provide an accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to individuals with mobility disability to ride an e-bike as defined by the City of Boise on certain city-owned property with Ridge to Rivers trails. Users are asked to visit either the Boise Parks and Recreation Administration Office (1104 Royal Blvd.) or the Fort Boise Community Center (700 Robbins Rd.) to complete the accommodation process. Please bring the following: 

  • A valid stat-issued disability parking placard or other state issued proof of disability
  • Documentation from your e-boke purchase that outlines the power output of your e-bike motor (must be no more than 750 watts with a top speed of 20 m.p.h.) 

If you have any questions, please call Boise Parks and Recreation at 208-608-7600 or email bpr@cityofboise.org.
