Find a ride

Pick the kind of riding you like. Each card opens Day Trippin', where you can browse our hiking and biking places and the Day Trippin' map. A place being listed there does not mean electric rides are allowed on it, so check its rules first.

Onewheel

A Onewheel is a self-balancing electric board with a single wheel: you stand on it and lean to speed up, slow down and steer. It is fun, and it takes practice. Learn in an open, flat, quiet spot, well away from people and traffic.

  • Read your maker's manual and follow its safety advice before your first ride.
  • Wear a helmet every time, plus wrist guards, elbow pads and knee pads. Wear grippy, closed shoes.
  • Keep your speed to what you can stop from, and slow down around walkers, kids and dogs.
  • Rules for electric boards differ from park to park. See "Where can I ride?" below.

The maker has its own safety page: onewheel.com/pages/safety.

Electric unicycles

An electric unicycle (often called an EUC) is a single wheel with a pedal on each side. You balance and lean to go. Most new riders find the first few hours the hardest, so give yourself time and a safe place to learn.

  • Gear: a helmet is the minimum. Many riders add wrist guards, knee and elbow pads, and some choose a full-face helmet for higher speeds.
  • Range: it varies a lot by model, rider weight, hills, wind, temperature and speed. Numbers on a spec sheet are best-case. Plan your ride with room to spare.
  • Charging: use the charger made for your wheel, charge fully before a first ride, and follow your maker's manual.
  • Rules: where an electric unicycle may be ridden (roads, bike lanes, sidewalks, trails) depends on your state, city and the park. Check before you go.

Electric bikes

In the US, many states sort electric bikes into three classes. Check your own state's wording, because details differ.

  • Class 1: pedal-assist only, with the motor helping up to 20 mph.
  • Class 2: has a throttle, and the motor can power the bike up to 20 mph.
  • Class 3: pedal-assist up to 28 mph. This class is the one most often kept off shared paths and trails.

A bike's class is only a rough guide to where you can ride. Parks, trail systems and cities set their own rules, and many allow some classes on some trails and not others. Look for the class label on your bike, and check the posted rules at the trailhead or with the park office.

Before you ride

  • Protect yourself. Wear a helmet that meets a recognised safety standard, and wear protective gear for your ride (wrist guards, elbow and knee pads).
  • Check the posted rules. Look at the signs at the entrance, the park's website and the park office. Rules change.
  • Ride within your skill. Start slow, pick routes that suit you, and stop if you are tired, or the weather or trail is more than you want to handle.
  • Check your ride. Look over your tyre or wheel, battery, lights and brakes (if your ride has them) before you set off.

This page is general information. It is not legal or safety advice. Riding carries a real risk of injury, and you ride at your own risk.

Where can I ride?

It depends, and it changes. Rules for electric boards, electric unicycles and electric bikes vary by park, trail and city, and they change often. Some parks ban them. Some treat them like motor vehicles, and some allow only certain kinds of e-bikes.

Before you ride, read the posted rules and ask the park office. Any status you see on our site is dated and may be out of date, so treat the park's own rules as the final word.
