But with so many phenomenal trails — some of which restrict electric bikes — where do you even start planning your two-wheeled trek? Well, reading this blog is a great start! We’ve curated a list of dream destinations for e-bike enthusiasts, from a stunning riding trail off the scenic Pacific Coast to an exhilarating expedition into the heart of Florida’s gator-filled Everglades. Pack your pannier bag, slap on some sunscreen, and take a quick tour of some of the top e-bike trails and paths that you positively must visit this summer. Greenway Trail (Hermit Road) — Grand Canyon National Park, AZ Like to live (and ride) on the edge? Bring your e-bike to the Greenway Trail and take in truly jaw-dropping views of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim! Electric bikes are allowed on the Hermit Road section of the Greenway Trail from Pima Point to Monument Creek Vista. This gentle bike path is fully paved and has very little elevation change, making it ideal for families, young-at-heart adventurers, and just about any rider. Throttle-only riding isn’t permitted on this trail, but that just means you’ll enjoy a little workout while you soak in the stunning scenery.

Take your e-bike here during the summertime, and you’ll likely catch a pod of whales, sea lions, or sea otters frolicking in the ocean. Even if you miss out on animal sightings, you’ll be in awe of the non-stop views of the rocky coastline, unique cypress trees, and vibrant flowers that pepper this pathway. Make it a weekend and stop by the amazing destinations along this trail, including the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Lover’s Point in Pacific Grove. Just watch your speed — most of the Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail limits e-bikes to 20 mph, but be aware that the Pacific Grove stretch has a 12 mph speed limit.

This 24-mile loop is a long, smooth paved pathway to paradise, offering e-bike riders staggering views of the ocean and bay and convenient access to historic landmarks like Coronado and Imperial Beach. For those adventurous riders who wish to complete the whole loop, the trail links with on-street bike lanes and routes through Chula Vista, National City, and downtown San Diego; however, families may want to avoid the on-street bike lanes by looping back on the same path at Imperial Beach.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more unique and memorable ride than Shark Valley Trail, located deep in the Everglades National Park. Cruise this 15-mile smooth, fully-paved path and marvel at the gorgeous Floridian fauna and wildlife, including birds, fish, and reptiles. Before setting off to this popular e-bike destination, consider a few things: only e-bikes with 750-watt motors (or less) are allowed, and summertime is thunderstorm season, so always check the extended forecast when planning your e-bike adventure.
