Exemptions for Senior Citizens

There are no specific exemptions for senior citizens regarding the e-bike law on the Mickelson Trail.

All riders, regardless of age, must adhere to the same regulations, which only permit Class I e-bikes.

Implications
Senior citizens who wish to use the trail must use a Class I e-bike to comply with the law.

This uniformity in the law means that age does not influence the type of e-bike allowed on the trail.

The last time I was in Hill City and Deadwood there were a couple of places that rent Class 1 e-bikes. Since the new law passed, there may be more places offering to rent Class 1 bikes. I'm not sure. Here is a link to some of them:
