The Experience

Before You Go

Know the rules

E-bikes are not permitted on National Forest Service trails—stick to roads and shared-use paths provided by the operator.

Manage battery range

Confirm battery range for your chosen duration and ask about spare batteries or on-route support before you ride.

Sun and hydration

Bring at least 1–2 liters of water and sun protection; desert sun and elevation make dehydration easy.

Ride predictably

Share the road with hikers and local traffic—announce passes and keep to the far right on multi-use corridors.

Conservation Note
