E-bikes

The e-bike trail map that knows your class

Pick your e-bike’s class and HuntGrid Offroad shows the roads and trails whose official source opens them to that class on the day you ride. Where a source doesn’t say, the answer is unknown, never a guess.

HuntGrid Offroad on a computer: the same Forest Service routes in Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, California, shown for a class 1 e-bike. Scott Canyon Trail is tapped and its card reads “Open to your e-bike”, lists e-bikes (class 1) open all year and classes 2 and 3 not open, and gives its source, the Motor Vehicle Use Maps. Routes that list no e-bike class are marked closed to it.

How it works

  • Tell it what you ride

    Answer “What do you ride?”: an e-bike and its class, no make or model needed. It keeps your machine in a garage that syncs to all your devices.

  • See the map for your machine

    Each road and trail is coloured by what its official source says for your machine: open, seasonal, limited, closed or unknown.

  • On the day you ride

    Set the map to today, this weekend or any date, and seasonal routes follow it. Tap a route for its rule, its dates and its source.

HuntGrid Offroad on a phone: Scott Canyon Trail tapped, and the card at the bottom reading “Open to your e-bike” with its source.

Class 1, 2 or 3

Each class has its own answer

US federal rules sort e-bikes into three classes: class 1 assists only while you pedal and stops assisting at 20 mph (32 km/h); class 2 can move on its throttle alone, with no help above 20 mph (32 km/h); class 3 assists only while you pedal and stops assisting at 28 mph (45 km/h) (43 CFR 8340.0-5, 36 CFR 1.4).

  • Where a Forest Service Motor Vehicle Use Map lists e-bike classes, the map follows it for yours.
  • Forest Service trails managed for e-bikes say what they’re managed for, marked “not a travel rule”: the Motor Vehicle Use Map is the rule.
  • No class saved, or a class the source doesn’t mention? The answer is unknown. An e-bike is never assumed to be allowed on a trail for non-motorised bicycles.

Official maps and posted signs control.

Questions

Still have a question? Read the HuntGrid Offroad help pages or email support@huntgrid.net.

Is the e-bike trail map free?

Yes. Everything on this page is in the free plan, with no credit card. HuntGrid Offroad is in open beta, and there are never ads on the map or in Ride Mode.

Which trails can my class 3 e-bike use?

Save it as class 3 and the map shows the routes whose official source opens them to class 3 on that date. Where a source doesn’t rule on e-bikes, the route shows as unknown.

Is a green trail a promise I can ride it?

No. It’s what the official data says for your machine on that date. Where no official source covers a route, it shows as unknown rather than a guess. Official maps and posted signs control, and closures can happen at any time.
