Brad: you did not specify what type or class of e-bike you have. This is an important distinction when discussing whether e-bikes are allowed. Do you have the type of e-bike that requires you to pedal in order to receive power assist? If yes, you’re good. If you have the type of ebike that has a throttle of some sort than it’s probably against the rules. I’m from the “Show-Me” State, so I’m going to provide some supporting information here in the form of a link to the trail rules and a second link to a news article from this year that describes the new rules. Those new rules allow pedal assist Class One AND they now allow a specific type of Class Three known as Class 3E which is a pedal assist bike that can travel up to 28 mph BUT requires you to pedal in order for it to supply a power boost. I realize Patty is trying to help, but there is not an exception if your Doctor writes you a note…….but you MIGHT get some sympathy and discretion from an authority.
