YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
In line with
the National Park Service’s new electric bicycle policy and
a Department of the Interior Secretary’s Order, Yellowstone, Grand Teton
and Glacier national parks, along with the National Elk Refuge, will expand
recreational opportunities and accessibility.
E-bikes are now allowed everywhere traditional bicycles are allowed in
Yellowstone, Grand Teton and Glacier. E-bikes are also allowed on the pathways
of the National Elk Refuge that connect to Grand Teton National Park. Similar
to traditional bicycles, e-bikes are not allowed in designated wilderness, in
areas managed as wilderness or on oversnow roads in the winter.
E-bikes are low-speed electric bicycles with power assistance. The operator of
an e-bike may only use the motor to assist pedal propulsion. The motor may not
be used to propel an e-bike without the rider also pedaling, except in
locations open to public motor vehicle traffic. Motor bikes with a throttle are
not e-bikes. All bicyclists must obey speed limits and any other state traffic
laws.
The managers of these public lands retain the right to limit, restrict or
impose conditions of bicycle use and e-bike use in the future in order to
ensure visitor safety and resource protection.
