17,628 trails · 12,632 miles across Massachusetts's 14 counties · 469 miles open to a Class 1 · 568 managers named · Rules verified November 8 to 10, 2026

Quick Answer: Massachusetts lets Class 1 and 2 e-bikes ride public bike paths unless the city, town or agency running it restricts them after a public hearing, and bars them from a public body's natural-surface trails until it opens them. DCR parks allow Class 1 only, on improved trails 8 feet or wider. Of 12,632 mapped miles, 469 take a Class 1.

Every e-bike in our full range ships free to Massachusetts within the contiguous United States.

Massachusetts bike trails map colored by e-bike access: green trails take Class 1, 2 and 3, purple any class while pedaling, magenta Class 1 and 3 only, blue Class 1 and 2 only, orange Class 1 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

Each line is a trail or path from DCR's Roads and Trails inventory and its Division of Water Supply Protection, MassDOT's shared-use paths, MassGIS's Published Trail Segments and NextGen 911 trail compilation, the National Park Service or OpenStreetMap, colored by the e-bike rule of whoever manages it.

The numbers mark the 13 regions below, Massachusetts's regional planning agencies, in the order the page reads them, west to east.

Massachusetts puts its two trail rules in one section of the General Laws, and between them they decide most of this map. On a paved or surfaced path, your e-bike has a bicycle's rights until the public body that runs the path restricts it.

On a natural-surface trail that a public body runs, your e-bike is barred until that body opens it. Other states draw these lines differently, and electric bike laws in all 50 states sets them side by side in one table. The map sorts every trail by who manages it and what that manager's rule lets your class do.

G.L. c.85, § 11B¾(b) gives your e-bike "all of the rights and privileges" of a bicycle, "provided, however, that electric bicycles shall not be ridden or operated on sidewalks." Subsection (c) lets "A municipality, local authority or state agency with jurisdiction over a bike path or bikeway" prohibit or regulate e-bikes on it "after public notice and a public hearing".

Subsection (d) runs the other way on dirt: "An electric bicycle shall not be operated on a trail designated for nonmotorized traffic, that a municipality, local authority or state agency has jurisdiction over, if such trail has a natural surface tread made by clearing and grading the soil and no surfacing materials have been added". The same body may open such a trail to e-bikes after notice and a hearing.

Section 1 of chapter 90 defines the bike: "a bicycle or tricycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of 750 watts or less that meets the requirements of a class 1 electric bicycle or a class 2 electric bicycle."

A Class 1 assists only while you pedal and stops at 20 mph; a Class 2 may move the bike on its motor alone, also to 20 mph. The same section says "The definition of ''Motor vehicles'' shall not include electric bicycles".

Massachusetts defines no Class 3. A bike that assists you to 28 mph falls outside the definition, and no statute says what it is instead. Read one way, it is a "motorized bicycle", which section 1B of chapter 90 excludes "from off-street recreational bicycle paths"; read the other, it belongs to no category, and no statute opens a path to it either way. Where only the statute speaks, this map prints Class 3 as unsettled.

The section dates from August 10, 2022, when section 14 of chapter 176 of the Acts of 2022 inserted it; its label rule took effect January 1, 2023, under section 63. We read every chapter of the Acts of 2025 and 2026, 365 in all, and none changed the e-bike sections.

Bills of the 2025–2026 session would change them, the furthest along an economic development bill now before a committee of conference; what changed, and what could change next names each with its last recorded action.

568 managers named in the land and trail records share the decision across this map, each counted once however its records spell it. Each trail below carries its manager's name where a record names one and, where that manager's rule could be read, what the rule says about your class, linked to the rule itself. The same rows sit in the trail register, so you can check a ride trail by trail.

Takeaway

The surface under your wheels decides more in Massachusetts than your class does. A Class 1 may ride 469 mapped miles and a Class 2 185; in DCR's parks, forests and rail trails the Class 2 gives up every trail, because the agency opens their improved trails to Class 1 alone. A Class 3 rides 59 miles where a manager names it, and reads unsettled on the 120 open miles where no rule names it.

66% of the mapped miles read gray. The largest gray blocks are city and town land whose own code we could not read, 1,008 miles of natural-surface trail and 214 of surfaced path among them, and 2,116 miles on ground the state's protected-land layer records no owner for. The downloadable register tells you why each gray trail is gray.

How to read the map

Every line on the map is a trail, path or rail trail, colored by what its manager's rule lets your e-bike do. Streets, sidewalks and bike lanes on roads stay off; the road network belongs on a road map.

  • Green: Class 1, 2 and 3 may ride. Green is rare here: Haverhill opens its conservation areas, Winnekenni Park among them, to Class 1, 2 and 3.
  • Purple: any class, with the motor helping only while you pedal. Cape Cod National Seashore's bike routes and Minute Man's Battle Road and North Bridge trails carry this condition.
  • Magenta: Class 1 and 3, the pedal-assist classes. The Cape Cod Canal's service roads, where the Army Corps of Engineers names those two classes and bars Class 2.
  • Blue: Class 1 and 2, with Class 3 unsettled. Blue miles are the surfaced paths of cities and towns whose code we read, the state's own surfaced paths outside DCR, the Ware River watershed's roads and rail trails, and the Mass Central Rail Trail's Wachusett miles.
  • Orange: Class 1 only. DCR's improved trails recorded 10 feet wide or wider, the improved paths of the facilities DCR lists for e-bikes, and Upton's conservation lands, where the town's rule names Class 1 alone.
  • Dashed red: closed to e-bikes. Red miles are natural-surface trails that public bodies run, DCR's natural-surface trails and its improved trails recorded under 5 feet wide, the national parks' trails closed to bicycles, the Appalachian Trail, Mass Audubon's sanctuaries, the Trustees properties whose pages bar mountain biking, Nantucket Conservation Foundation land, the refuges' closed trails, and the town land whose own rule closes it.
  • Gray: the rule is unsettled, could not be read, or belongs to a private owner, or the record names no owner or surface for the trail. Each gray trail's reason is in the register.

The map shows the rule. A posted closure, a seasonal rule or a sign at the trailhead can still close a colored line on the day you ride.

Who decides on each trail

On most of this map a city or town decides, and on the next largest share DCR does. Cities and towns manage 5,415 of the mapped miles, about 43% of the map, though 2,116 of those carry a town's name only because no record names an owner. DCR manages 3,692 miles, land trusts 1,331, private owners 595 and federal agencies 417.

Takeaway

On a public trail, ask what is under your wheels: a paved or stone-dust path takes your Class 1 or 2 unless its town or agency has restricted it, and a dirt trail is closed unless its town or agency has opened it. In a DCR park, forest or rail trail, ask the width too, and leave a Class 2 or 3 at the trailhead.

How to choose your e-bike

DCR parks, forests and rail trails

In DCR's parks, forests and rail trails, your e-bike may ride a trail only if it is a Class 1, and only an improved trail 8 feet wide or wider.

302 CMR 12.12(4) reads: "The use of electric bicycles is prohibited on sidewalks and on improved or natural surface trails, regardless of trail width or other conditions, except that Class 1 electric bicycles are permitted as follows: (a) on improved DCR trails of 8 feet in width or greater; (b) in places where vehicular traffic is permitted and bicycles are not otherwise prohibited; and (c) in bicycle lanes on DCR roadways."

If yours is a Class 2 or 3, you get less: "The use of Class 2 and Class 3 electric bicycles is permitted as follows: (a) where vehicular traffic is permitted and bicycles are not otherwise prohibited; and (b) in bicycle lanes on DCR roadways." In a DCR park, forest or rail trail, your throttle bike or 28 mph bike rides the park roads and the bike lanes on DCR parkways, and no trail.

The rule covers all DCR property outside the land of its Division of Water Supply Protection (302 CMR 12.01(3)(g)); the watershed land has its own rules, below.

DCR manages 3,692 of this map's miles across 288 parks, forests, reservations and rail trails. Its own trail inventory records each trail's surface and its width in bands, and the map reads those records: 209 miles of improved trail recorded 10 feet wide or wider take a Class 1, and 2,498 miles of natural-surface trail are closed.

When DCR adopted the rule, its response to comments put it plainly: "Under the amended regulation, e-bikes will not be permitted on any natural surface trails where motor vehicles are not permitted, regardless of width."

The facilities DCR lists for e-bikes

DCR's page "E-Bikes on DCR Property" says "DCR allows the operation of class 1 e-bikes on improved trails of an appropriate width", and its location list names 17 facilities (list, page 2, page 3, in the Internet Archive's latest copies, from October 16 and September 4, 2025).

They are Alewife Brook Reservation, Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, Blackstone River and Canal Heritage State Park, Breakheart Reservation, Canalside Rail Trail, Cape Cod Rail Trail, Charles River Reservation, Chicopee Memorial State Park, Manuel F. Correllus State Forest, Myles Standish State Forest, Mystic River State Reservation, Nashua River Rail Trail, Neponset River Reservation, Nickerson State Park, Norwottuck Rail Trail, Southern New England Trunkline Trail and Wompatuck State Park.

On a listed rail trail, your Class 1 rides the trail itself, and the map reads it as a Class 1 route, 52 miles; inside a listed park, the regulation's width test still decides each trail.

DCR's own trail pages say the same where they speak. On the Nashua River Rail Trail, "Class 1 e-bikes, pedal-assist electric bikes that reach 20 mph, are permitted on the trail."

One listed forest's records disagree with each other. DCR lists Manuel F. Correllus State Forest on Martha's Vineyard, while its own trail inventory records the Correllus Bike Path, asphalt, at "3' - 5'" wide, under the rule's 8 feet. The map prints those 9.2 miles gray, both records in the register.

Where the record leaves the width open

DCR records width in bands, and one band straddles the rule: "5' - 10'". A trail in that band may be 8 feet wide or 6, so the map prints its 300 miles as unsettled, with both readings in the register.

Another 88 miles of improved trail on DCR ground are lines DCR's inventory does not draw, so no width is on record, and 246 miles carry no surface at all. On those trails, look for DCR's posting at the trailhead before you ride, or ask the park.

The Appalachian Trail

The Appalachian Trail is closed to your e-bike for its whole length in Massachusetts. 302 CMR 12.05(2) reads: "No person shall operate any snow vehicle, recreation vehicle, or other vehicle, or ride a bicycle, electric bicycle, motorized conveyance, horse, or other animal upon any portion of the Appalachian Trail except at designated crossings."

On the Park Service's corridor land, the trail's compendium lists the trails authorized for bicycles as "None at this time". The map reads 79.2 miles of trail as the Appalachian Trail's, located by DCR's own line for it. At the trail's northern end, Maine's trail atlas reads it closed to e-bikes too.

Watershed land: the Ware River, Quabbin and Wachusett

DCR's Division of Water Supply Protection guards the land around the state's drinking-water reservoirs, and two of its rules speak of e-bikes. For the Ware River watershed: "Electronic bicycles are allowed on DWSP roads and rail trails, but they are prohibited on all natural surface trails."

The same policy adds, "E-bikes are allowed only on existing roads and rail trails; they are not permitted on single track or other natural surface trails."

For the Wachusett Reservoir, the Division's 2023 public access plan reads: "E-bikes – like traditional bicycles – can be used only in areas designated by the Commissioner. These areas are limited to the Mass Central Rail Trail, the road below the Wachusett Dam and along the Spillway to Gate 39 via the old rail bed only." The plan counts a Class 1 or 2 as an e-bike.

The map reads 12.0 miles of Ware River roads and rail trails and 8.2 miles of the Mass Central Rail Trail on Wachusett land as open to your Class 1 or 2, and every natural-surface watershed trail as closed to you.

The Wachusett's other roads read closed, but its 2.7 miles at the dam in Clinton read gray. One of the plan's tables reads "Bicycling and e-bikes are allowed from the area below the dam to Gate 39 via the lower access road (old rail bed) only.", and another "E-bikes allowed on Lower Road paved surface only."

The Quabbin's and the other watersheds' roads the Division opens to bicycles, 28.5 miles, read gray: the Quabbin's bicycle brochure, access summary and park access map name no e-bike. Ask the watershed rangers before you ride them.

Cape Cod National Seashore and the other park units

On the Seashore, your e-bike rides the bike routes, and the motor helps only while you pedal. The Superintendent's Compendium designates five routes for bicycles: the Nauset Bike Trail, the park's fire roads, the Head of the Meadow Bike Trail, the Cape Cod Rail Trail and the Province Lands Bike Trail.

It reads: "E-bikes are allowed in Cape Cod National Seashore where traditional bicycles are allowed", and "Except where use of motor vehicles by the public is allowed, using the electric motor to move an e-bike without pedaling is prohibited."

So if yours is a Class 2, you may ride the Seashore's routes too, with the throttle off. Off those routes, a bicycle "is prohibited except on park roads, in parking areas and on routes designated for bicycle use", and the compendium adds that bicycles, "including Fat Bikes and e-bikes", may not ride "on beaches or dune areas". The map reads 13.4 miles as the Seashore's open routes.

Two smaller units open some ground too. At Minute Man National Historical Park, the compendium says e-bikes are "allowed on park roads, parking areas, and on the Battle Road Trail and North Bridge Trail", and that "Using an E-bike without pedaling is Prohibited".

At Salem Maritime and Saugus Iron Works, "E-bikes are allowed at both Salem Maritime & Saugus Iron Works National Historic Sites where traditional bicycles are allowed.", and the motor may help only while you pedal.

Salem Maritime has no trail on this map, and Saugus Iron Works' paths read closed: its compendium opens no trail there to bicycles and bars them from the fenced site, "No bicycles are permitted to be ridden within the fenced-in area of Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site."

Every other Park Service trail reads closed: under 36 CFR 4.30, "The use of an electric bicycle is prohibited in locations not designated by the Superintendent".

The Cape Cod Canal

The Canal's service roads take your e-bike if it is a Class 1 or Class 3, and bar a Class 2. The Army Corps of Engineers' notice on motorized vehicles on the service roads permits "Class I & III Pedal-Assist Bicycles" and states: "Class II (throttle-assist) e-bikes are not permitted along the Service Roads". The map reads 13.3 miles of the North and South service roads that way.

The Corps holds other land in Massachusetts too, around its flood-control dams from Tully Lake to Knightville and Hodges Village. We found no e-bike rule for those projects; their 126.4 miles read gray, and the Corps' general rule keeps a vehicle "off authorized roadways" unless the District Commander designates otherwise (36 CFR 327.2).

Wildlife refuges

Each refuge decides, and none on this map opens its trails to your bike. Parker River's page says "Both conventional and electric ("e-bikes") bicycles are permitted at the refuge." on its 6.4-mile refuge road, and "Biking is never permitted on refuge trails, boardwalks, or the beach." At Assabet River, "Biking is only allowed on roads and ways."; its page does not mention e-bikes, so its roads read gray.

Massasoit and Nomans Land Island are "closed to all public access". Great Meadows, Oxbow, Monomoy, Mashpee, Nantucket and the Conte refuge's Massachusetts divisions list wildlife watching among their activities and no biking, so their 28.2 miles read gray: the Fish and Wildlife Service lets e-bikes use refuge roads and trails "where traditional bicycle use is allowed", and only after the refuge manager finds them compatible. Ask the refuge before you ride.

City and town rules

Your town decides its own paths and trails, and most towns' codes could not be read from here. Under § 11B¾, a city or town may restrict e-bikes on a path, or open a natural-surface trail to them, only by an ordinance or regulation adopted after public notice and a hearing. Until it does, the statute's two defaults hold: a surfaced path takes your Class 1 or 2, and a natural-surface trail is closed.

We read the own websites of 292 of the 350 cities and towns on this map for their e-bike rules and codes, every e-bike mention in its sentence; for the other 58, no site could be shown to be the town's own, or none of its pages answered.

A website counts as the town's own only when the federal .gov registry files it to that town, the Massachusetts Municipal Association lists it as the town's site, or its own pages read as the town's official site.

A town's code counts as read only where its own title page shows its general bylaws or ordinances, or its rules for conservation land, trails or parks, in an edition of 2023 or later.

What the towns' own rules say

11 towns publish an e-bike rule of their own for their trails, and they split both ways. Haverhill opens its conservation areas: "Class 1, 2, and 3 electric pedal assist bicycles may be used within Conservation Areas." Nantucket opens its multi-use paths to Class 1 and 2, with a 20 mph limit and a helmet for every rider: "Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes are allowed on our paths."

Hopkinton's trail guide permits electric bikes on the Center Trail at 10 mph, Milford's 2023 bylaw amendment opens its stretch of the Upper Charles Trail, and Upton's conservation commission permits "Pedal-assisted class-1 electronic bikes without the use of a throttle".

Six towns close ground to you. Hingham bars "Electric bikes" from its conservation lands and lists "Motorized vehicles, including ebikes" among what is prohibited in Bare Cove Park. Mashpee's conservation lands, Yarmouth's conservation areas and the Holbrook Town Forest are closed to e-bikes.

Winthrop's 2026 ordinance bars them from "Any natural surface trail; or 2. Any parkland within the Town of Winthrop", with fines of $25 to $100. Templeton's Parks and Recreation Commission rules that "all bicycles, electric bikes, scooters, skateboards, and any motorized vehicles not authorized by the town of Templeton Parks and Recreation Commission are hereby banned from the walking path" in Gilman Waite Park, a path this map does not carry.

The towns whose code we read

58 more cities and towns were read in their general bylaws or ordinances, and 12 in their rules for conservation land, each in an edition of 2023 or later, with no e-bike provision (12 of them read in the Internet Archive's copy of a town website that answered this client with a security check); Wellesley's police department states that "The Town of Wellesley has not adopted e-bike ordinances or bylaws."

On that ground the statute decides, and the map reads it the same way on state land outside DCR: 87 miles of surfaced path take your Class 1 or 2, and 558 miles of natural-surface trail are closed to you.

Rules that could not be read

The rules of 268 of the 350 cities and towns on this map could not be read. Their trails read gray; each row gives the trail's surface and links section 11B¾, whose default holds there: closed on natural surface unless the town has opened it, open to your Class 1 or 2 on a path unless the town has restricted it. Why each town's rules could not be read:

  • A security check on the code host. 110 publish their code on eCode360, American Legal, Municode or Code Publishing, each of which answered with a security check.
  • A security check on the town's website. The websites of 33 answered with the same check, so their code was looked for in the Internet Archive's earlier copies of those sites instead.
  • An old edition. 33 post only an edition of their bylaws or land rules from before 2023, too old to show what a town has done under the 2022 statute.
  • No website of their own. For 5, no website could be shown to be the town's own.
  • No code found. On the websites of the other 87, a search led by code words found no copy of their bylaws or conservation land rules, though for 37 of them it stopped at 40 pages with links left to read.

Three towns are working on rules that are not yet in force. Groveland's Select Board held a public hearing on November 9, 2026, on an interim regulation that would let Class 1 and 2 ride its Community Trail "at a speed not greater than 15 miles per hour" and bar devices sold as Class 3 (notice); the town's website had posted no decision when this page was read on November 10, 2026.

Easthampton's proposed e-bike ordinance has no hearing date: the agenda of the City's Manhan Rail Trail Committee for October 26, 2026, lists it as "city council public hearing postponed; no date set" (agenda), and the City Council's Public Safety Committee carried the amendment, "to include E-Bike Regulations and Use", as continuing business for its meeting on the evening of November 10, 2026 (agenda).

A trail plan prepared for Canton's Conservation Commission recommends, for the Ward Well Conservation Area, that "only Class 1 electric bicycles (e-bikes) are allowed and only on the Old Haul Road Trail", among its proposed changes to the Commission's rules for its land, adopted September 25, 2019. None of the three was in force when read.

Land trusts and other owners

On a land trust's property, the owner's rules decide whether you may ride, because § 11B¾(d) reaches only a public body's trails. Land trusts hold 1,331 of this map's miles across 118 organizations, and we read the rules of the largest.

Every other land trust, nonprofit and private owner decides for its own land; their trails read gray as owner land, 896 miles of land trusts and nonprofits and 595 of private land. Look for the owner's posted rules at the trailhead before you ride.

Named trails riders ask about

These are the trails riders search for by name, each with every mile the map holds under that name and the rules those miles follow. A long rail trail crosses several managers, so one trail can read in several colors. For the longest rides beyond Massachusetts, see the longest bike trails in the US, ranked for e-bikes.

The Cape Cod Rail Trail is the clearest long ride: DCR lists it for Class 1, and 24.1 of its 32.0 mapped miles read Class 1 only. The Cape Cod Canal's service roads take Class 1 and 3, and the Seashore's Province Lands Bike Trail takes every class while you pedal.

The Minuteman Bikeway, the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail and the Mass Central Rail Trail cross town after town; where a town's code could not be read or no owner is on record, those miles read gray.

Commuter e-bikes for rail-trail rides

Takeaway

On a named rail trail, check the stretch you will ride: the Cape Cod Rail Trail and the Norwottuck read Class 1 on DCR's list, while the Minuteman and the Bruce Freeman change with the town you are in.

Massachusetts bike trails, region by region

The regions are Massachusetts's 13 regional planning agencies, west to east. Each region's table lists its longest named trails, and the list under it its named trails of half a mile or more, by e-bike rule; every trail is a row in the register.

Pittsfield and North Adams

Pittsfield, North Adams and Berkshire County bike trails map colored by e-bike access: blue trails take Class 1 and 2 only, orange Class 1 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

1,363 trails over 1,250 miles in Berkshire County. 27 miles are open to an e-bike, 691 are closed and 532 read gray.

The Berkshires' long trails are closed to you, and the Ashuwillticook is open. The Appalachian Trail crosses the region from Mount Everett to Mount Greylock and is closed for its whole length. DCR's natural-surface forest trails here, the Taconic Skyline and Taconic Crest trails in Pittsfield State Forest and Beartown's Ski and Bridle Trail among them, are closed.

DCR's Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, recorded as improved and 10 feet wide or wider, is the region's longest Class 1 ride.

Springfield and Chicopee

Springfield, Chicopee and the Pioneer Valley bike trails map colored by e-bike access: blue trails take Class 1 and 2 only, orange Class 1 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

1,499 trails over 1,253 miles in Hampshire and Hampden counties. 39 miles are open to an e-bike, 375 are closed and 839 read gray.

The Norwottuck Rail Trail is the valley's longest Class 1 ride. DCR lists it for Class 1 e-bikes, and its River Road segment reads the same way.

Springfield's Forest Park trails and its reservoir land read gray, because the City's code could not be read, and so do the Corps of Engineers' trails at Conant Brook and Knightville. The Manhan Rail Trail in Easthampton is on ground with no owner of record, and most of the D.A.R. State Forest's trails are natural surface and closed.

Long-range e-bikes for valley rail trails

Greenfield and Montague

Greenfield, Montague and Franklin County bike trails map colored by e-bike access: blue trails take Class 1 and 2 only, orange Class 1 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

826 trails over 851 miles in Franklin County. 23 miles are open to an e-bike, 313 are closed and 515 read gray.

Most of Franklin County's trail miles read gray, and most of the natural-surface trails public bodies run there are closed to you. The Metacomet-Monadnock Trail crosses DCR's Warwick, Mount Grace, Northfield and Wendell state forests and is closed across nearly all of them, and most of the Robert Frost Trail through the Montague Wildlife Management Area is closed under the statute's default.

Stretches of the M&M Trail on private land read gray: the owner decides.

Leominster and Fitchburg

Leominster, Fitchburg and the Montachusett region bike trails map colored by e-bike access: blue trails take Class 1 and 2 only, orange Class 1 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

1,849 trails over 1,090 miles in parts of Worcester and Middlesex counties. 34 miles are open to an e-bike, 296 are closed and 760 read gray.

Two DCR rail trails carry your Class 1 here: the Ware River Rail Trail and the Nashua River Rail Trail. The Corps of Engineers' stretches of the Tully Trail, and its Birch Hill Dam trails, read gray, because the Corps' project rules were not read, and most of the Harvard Forest's trails sit on private land, where the owner decides. Where the Midstate Trail crosses DCR land it is closed on almost every mile.

Worcester and Shrewsbury

Worcester, Shrewsbury and central Massachusetts bike trails map colored by e-bike access: blue trails take Class 1 and 2 only, orange Class 1 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

1,251 trails over 965 miles in part of Worcester County. 73 miles are open to an e-bike, 378 are closed and 514 read gray.

On watershed land, the Mass Central Rail Trail takes your Class 1 or 2. The Division of Water Supply Protection allows e-bikes on the Ware River watershed's rail trails, and its 2023 plan for the Wachusett names the trail among the three places e-bikes may ride.

The Division's other Wachusett roads are closed to e-bikes. The Southern New England Trunkline Trail is DCR's and reads Class 1 on nearly all of its improved miles, and closed on its natural-surface stretches; most of Douglas State Forest's trails, and nearly all of the Midstate Trail where it crosses DCR land, are natural surface and closed.

Lowell and Billerica

Lowell, Billerica and northern Middlesex County bike trails map colored by e-bike access: blue trails take Class 1 and 2 only, orange Class 1 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

685 trails over 371 miles in part of Middlesex County. 11 miles are open to an e-bike, 72 are closed and 288 read gray.

The Bruce Freeman Rail Trail reads gray here. Its stretches through Chelmsford and Westford lie on ground the protected-land layer records no owner for, so the towns' rules decide and could not be read. The Nashua River Rail Trail's eastern end is DCR's and reads Class 1; Westford's and Tewksbury's conservation trails read gray: neither town's current code could be read.

Boston and Cambridge

Boston, Cambridge and the metro region bike trails map colored by e-bike access: purple trails take any class while pedaling, blue Class 1 and 2 only, orange Class 1 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

5,973 trails over 3,646 miles in Suffolk County, and parts of Norfolk, Middlesex, Essex, Plymouth and Worcester counties. 98 miles are open to an e-bike, 709 are closed and 2,839 read gray.

Along the Charles, DCR's paths read Class 1 only where a record gives the width. The Dr. Paul Dudley White Bike Path runs through the Charles River Reservation, which DCR lists for Class 1 e-bikes, so the width on record decides.

Of its 20.9 mapped miles, the 1.8 recorded 10 feet wide or wider read Class 1, those recorded 5 to 10 feet wide or with no width on record read gray, and 0.8 recorded narrower, or as natural surface, are closed.

At Wompatuck State Park, the improved trails recorded 10 feet or wider read Class 1, and most of its trails are natural surface and closed. Minute Man's Battle Road Trail takes every class while you pedal. The Weston Aqueduct is the water authority's natural-surface trail and closed; Broadmoor is Mass Audubon's and closed.

Most of the region's town paths read gray, most of them because no record names their owner and the rest because the town's code could not be read. For a test ride or a repair near the Charles, see our directory of Boston e-bike shops.

New Bedford and Fall River

New Bedford, Fall River and southeastern Massachusetts bike trails map colored by e-bike access: blue trails take Class 1 and 2 only, orange Class 1 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

809 trails over 664 miles in parts of Bristol, Plymouth and Norfolk counties. 21 miles are open to an e-bike, 190 are closed and 453 read gray.

Nearly all of this region's trail miles are closed or gray, and most of its open riding is DCR's. The natural-surface trails of the Rocky Gutter and Haskell Swamp wildlife management areas are closed, and the rest read gray, their surface not on record.

In DCR's Southeastern Massachusetts Bioreserve, the Gasline Trail reads Class 1, and most of the trail its record names The Gem reads gray, its surface not on record. Fairhaven's Phoenix Bike Trail reads gray, the town's code unread; ask the Town before you ride it.

Lawrence and Haverhill

Lawrence, Haverhill and the Merrimack Valley bike trails map colored by e-bike access: green trails take Class 1, 2 and 3, blue Class 1 and 2 only, orange Class 1 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

954 trails over 567 miles in part of Essex County. 35 miles are open to an e-bike, 143 are closed and 389 read gray.

Haverhill is the one city on this map that opens its conservation areas to every class. Winnekenni Park and the City's other conservation areas read Class 1, 2 and 3 under its own rule. Most of the Crane Pond Wildlife Management Area's trails are natural surface and closed, Harold Parker State Forest's Bay Circuit Trail is DCR's and closed on almost all of it, and the Trustees' Ward Reservation is the owner's call.

Brockton and Plymouth

Brockton, Plymouth and the Old Colony region bike trails map colored by e-bike access: blue trails take Class 1 and 2 only, orange Class 1 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

286 trails over 390 miles in parts of Plymouth and Bristol counties. 7 miles are open to an e-bike, 114 are closed and 269 read gray.

Myles Standish State Forest holds this region's longest trails, and its records split them three ways. DCR lists the forest for Class 1 e-bikes, so the width on record decides: its trails recorded 10 feet wide or wider read Class 1, those recorded 5 to 10 feet wide read gray, and those recorded as natural surface or under 5 feet, the Pine Barren Path and the Frost Pocket Path among them, are closed.

Look for DCR's posting before you ride a Myles Standish road.

Martha's Vineyard

Martha's Vineyard bike trails map colored by e-bike access: blue trails take Class 1 and 2 only, orange Class 1 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

821 trails over 307 miles in Dukes County. 3 miles are open to an e-bike, 51 are closed and 253 read gray.

Most of the island's bike paths read gray, for two different reasons. The Correllus Bike Path is DCR's, in a forest DCR lists for Class 1, but DCR's record gives it under 5 feet, so the map prints both records; where DCR's record does not place it in that forest, that width closes it.

The paths along the Edgartown, Katama and County roads lie on ground with no owner of record. The Martha's Vineyard Land Bank's trails read gray too, on the question of whether the statute reaches a land bank.

Cape Cod

Cape Cod and Barnstable County bike trails map colored by e-bike access: purple trails take any class while pedaling, magenta Class 1 and 3 only, blue Class 1 and 2 only, orange Class 1 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

1,321 trails over 1,127 miles in Barnstable County. 69 miles are open to an e-bike, 461 are closed and 597 read gray.

Three trails carry most of Cape Cod's open riding, each on its own manager's rule. DCR lists the Cape Cod Rail Trail for Class 1; the Canal's service roads take Class 1 and 3; the Seashore's Province Lands Bike Trail takes every class while you pedal.

The Shining Sea Bikeway in Falmouth reads Class 1 and 2 on the 5.8 of its 10.8 mapped miles that are state land, and the rest read gray: the Town's stretches because Falmouth's code could not be read, others because no record names an owner or a surface.

Most of the Frances A. Crane Wildlife Management Area's trails are natural surface and closed, and nearly all of Sandy Neck's trails are natural surface and closed under the statute's default, Barnstable's bylaws carrying no e-bike provision.

Nantucket

Nantucket bike trails map colored by e-bike access: blue trails take Class 1 and 2 only, dashed red are closed, gray are unsettled, unread or on private land

118 trails over 151 miles in Nantucket County. 29 miles are open to an e-bike, 67 are closed and 55 read gray.

Nantucket's town paths take your Class 1 or 2, at 20 mph, with a helmet on every rider. The Polpis Road, Madaket Road, Milestone Road and Surfside Road paths are the Town's, and its e-bike page bars anything faster than 20 mph from them. The Nantucket Conservation Foundation closes its land to e-bikes "regardless of their status under the law".

Where riders get caught out

  • A paved path and a dirt trail in the same park follow opposite rules. Your Class 1 or 2 may ride a town's paved path and is barred from the dirt trail beside it, unless the town has voted otherwise after a hearing.
  • DCR is stricter than the statute. On a DCR rail trail or park path outside its watershed land, only a Class 1 rides, and only on an improved trail 8 feet wide or wider; a Class 2 that rides a town's path legally is barred from DCR's.
  • Sidewalks are closed to every class. Section 11B¾(b) bars e-bikes from sidewalks statewide, and DCR's rule bars them from its sidewalks too.
  • A Class 3 has no settled place. Massachusetts defines Class 1 and 2 only; on a path where only the statute speaks, a 28 mph bike reads two ways, and DCR's parks rule bars it from every trail.
  • Land trusts are not public land. A Trustees reservation or a Mass Audubon sanctuary can close to bicycles a trail a town would leave open.

What a wrong turn can cost you

On DCR property, a person who violates the agency's rules "may be denied admittance to a DCR property, and may be subject to fine, eviction, banning or a combination of those penalties" (302 CMR 12.20(1)), and DCR rangers may issue citations.

Section 11B¾(b) gives you a bicycle rider's duties, and under the bicycle section, "Violations of any provision of this section except violations of subclause (iii) of clause (2) shall be punished by a fine of not more than twenty dollars." A town that restricts e-bikes by ordinance or bylaw sets its own penalty.

Your Massachusetts trail checklist, in five steps

  1. Find your trail's color on the map and its row in the register, which names the manager.
  2. Check the surface. A paved or stone-dust path takes your Class 1 or 2 unless its town or agency has restricted it; a dirt trail a public body runs is closed unless that body has opened it.
  3. In a DCR park, forest or rail trail, check your class and the trail's width: Class 1 only, on improved trails 8 feet wide or wider; on the watershed roads and rail trails open to e-bikes, Class 1 or 2.
  4. On a land trust's property, read the owner's rules at the trailhead or on its property page.
  5. Read your bike's label. Since January 1, 2023 (chapter 176 of the Acts of 2022, section 63), makers and distributors must fix a label giving "the classification number, top assisted speed and motor wattage".

Roads, labels and riders

Off the trail, your Class 1 or 2 rides as a bicycle does. Section 11B¾(b) gives it "all of the rights and privileges" of a bicycle and makes it "subject to all of the duties" set for bicycle riders in sections 11B and 11B½, so the bicycle rules of the road bind you on an e-bike too.

Helmets. One of those duties is the bicycle helmet rule: "Any person 16 years of age or younger operating a bicycle or being carried as a passenger on a bicycle on a public way, bicycle path or on any other public right-of-way shall wear a helmet." The section's $20 fine leaves that clause out, and a violation "shall not be used as evidence of contributory negligence in any civil action".

Nantucket goes further on its paths: "Everyone has to wear a helmet." Section 11B¾ sets no minimum age of its own.

If yours assists past 20 mph. Read as a "motorized bicycle", it comes under section 1B of chapter 90: no rider "under sixteen years of age", no speed "in excess of twenty-five miles per hour", "a valid driver's license or learner's permit", "protective headgear" for you and any passenger, and no off-street recreational bicycle paths.

The fine is up to $25 for a first offense, $25 to $50 for a second and $50 to $100 after that. Read the other way, none of that applies, and section 11B¾ gives it no path rights either.

Your label and your settings. Match the class on your bike's label (step 5 of the checklist above) to the rule of the trail you plan to ride. Raising the assist speed changes more than the label: "No person shall tamper with or modify an electric bicycle so as to change the motor-powered speed capability or engagement of an electric bicycle, unless the person appropriately replaces the label required by subsection (f)."

A bike that keeps helping past 20 mph no longer meets the Class 1 or 2 definition in section 1 of chapter 90. The statute also requires e-bikes to meet the federal bicycle rules: "Electric bicycles shall comply with the equipment and manufacturing requirements for bicycles adopted by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission."

For registration and road rules beyond the trail, read our Massachusetts e-bike laws guide.

What changed, and what could change next

No act of 2025 and 2026 has amended section 11B¾, which dates from chapter 176 of the Acts of 2022. DCR's e-bike rule comes from its 2022 amendments to 302 CMR 12, on which the agency answered public comments on June 10, 2022.

The latest changes are local: Winthrop's ordinance closing its natural-surface trails and parkland took effect September 1, 2026 (Chapter 8.50), and Holbrook amended its Town Forest rules on February 4, 2026 (Town Forest rules). These records could still change what this map shows you:

  • The economic development bill. Both chambers' texts of House Bill 5576, "An Act relative to economic development in the commonwealth", would add "a class 3 electric bicycle" to the state's definition of an electric bicycle, and the House text would also sort micromobility devices into speed tiers from January 1, 2028. That text would also require a motorized bicycle to carry an annual registration and liability insurance and bar it from bike lanes, and would require an e-bike sold, rented or ridden in the state to meet the UL 2849 electrical standard (sections 101 to 103 and 108); sections 101 and 108 would take effect on January 1, 2028, and the other two 90 days after the act does (House text, sections 162 and 163). The House passed its text on July 8, 2026, the Senate its own on July 24, and on July 30 the two chambers appointed a committee of conference; the bill's record shows no later action as of November 9, 2026. In the House text the Class 3 definition takes effect 90 days after the act does, in the Senate's on January 1, 2028. If it is enacted, the Class 3 rows this map prints unsettled will be read again.
  • The Transportation committee's bill. Senate Bill 3168 would also define Class 3, and its text says the top speed for micromobility devices on shared use paths "shall be 20 miles per hour, unless decided otherwise by the municipality". It has been with the Senate Ways and Means committee since July 6, 2026.
  • Two House bills. House Bill 3758, "An Act relative to class 3 electric bicycles", and House Bill 3761, "An Act definition and requirements of motorized vehicle", remain with the Transportation committee; the last action on each extended its reporting date to July 31, 2026.
  • An electric moped docket. House Docket 5664, "An Act relative to the definition of electric mopeds", would define an "electric moped" as a pedal bicycle with a helper motor "with an electric motor of no more than 2 horsepower or 1500 watts", "capable of a maximum speed of no more than 30 miles per hour", and count it as a motorized bicycle, the definition the first reading above applies. Its only recorded action sent it to the House Rules committee on February 11, 2026.
  • The Secretary's regulations. Section 11B¾(h) lets the Secretary of Transportation adopt e-bike regulations. The law library's lists of MassDOT's regulations name none, as archived in May 2026 for 700 CMR and January 2026 for 701 CMR; Mass.gov's current lists could not be read on November 9, 2026, so a regulation adopted since could not be ruled out.
  • Groveland and Easthampton. The interim regulation and the proposed ordinance under city and town rules would change those towns' rows.

Choosing an e-bike for Massachusetts trails

Your class decides how much of this map you may ride: 469 mapped miles on a Class 1, 185 on a Class 2 and 59 on a Class 3 where a manager names it.

Your bike's class Mapped miles it may ride Against a Class 1
Class 1: assist while you pedal, to 20 mph 469 Every open mile on this map
Class 2: throttle, to 20 mph 185 284 fewer: DCR's improved trails and listed rail trails, which open to Class 1 alone, Upton's conservation land, whose rule names Class 1 only, and the Cape Cod Canal's service roads, where the Corps bars Class 2
Class 3: assist while you pedal, to 28 mph 59, and 120 more unsettled 410 fewer: every DCR trail, Upton's conservation land, and the paths that leave Class 3 unsettled or bar it

Most of the miles you may ride are paved or stone dust. Of the 469 miles open to a Class 1, 245 are paved and 176 crushed stone, against 9 of natural surface; the records of 31 give no surface.

If your rides are rail trails and town paths, a Class 1 commuter or hybrid e-bike covers every open mile as sold. An e-mountain bike earns its keep only where a manager opens dirt, as Haverhill does for every class and Upton for Class 1. For the climbs of the Berkshires, compare e-bikes built for hills.

The bottom line

A Class 1 rides every open mile of this map, and on DCR's rail trails and park paths outside its watershed land it is the only class that rides at all. A Class 2 rides the open town and state paths, the watershed roads and rail trails open to e-bikes, Haverhill's conservation areas, and the Seashore's and Minute Man's routes while you pedal.

A Class 3 rides where a manager names it: Haverhill's conservation areas, the Cape Cod Canal's service roads, and the Seashore's and Minute Man's routes while you pedal. Most dirt trails a public body runs stay closed until that body opens them, and a land trust's rules govern its own land.

Shopping for one? Choose Class 1 if your rides are DCR's rail trails, the Cape Cod, Norwottuck and Nashua River trails among them; a Class 2 gives up 284 mapped miles here. Then compare commuter e-bikes for town paths, long-range e-bikes for a full day on a rail trail, or e-bikes picked for Boston; every e-bike we sell ships free to Massachusetts.

Frequently asked questions

Are e-bikes allowed on bike trails in Massachusetts?

On many of them; the manager decides. A paved or stone-dust path a city, town or state agency runs takes your Class 1 or 2 until that body restricts e-bikes after a hearing (§ 11B¾(c)); a natural-surface trail it runs stays closed until it opens one (§ 11B¾(d)).

Outside its watershed land, DCR opens only improved trails 8 feet wide or wider, and only to Class 1 (302 CMR 12.12(4)). This map reads 469 of 12,632 mapped miles open to a Class 1.

Yes. Massachusetts defines an electric bicycle as "a bicycle or tricycle equipped with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of 750 watts or less that meets the requirements of a class 1 electric bicycle or a class 2 electric bicycle". It is not a motor vehicle, it carries a bicycle's rights and duties, and it may not be ridden on a sidewalk (§ 11B¾(b)). A bike that assists you past 20 mph falls outside that definition.

Are e-bikes allowed on the Cape Cod Rail Trail?

A Class 1 is, on the trail DCR runs. DCR lists the Cape Cod Rail Trail for Class 1 e-bikes (DCR), and its rule keeps Class 2 and 3 to roads open to vehicles and DCR's bike lanes (302 CMR 12.12(5)). Of the trail's 32.0 mapped miles, 24.1 read Class 1 only; the 3.4 miles MassDOT manages take Class 1 and 2 under the state's path rule.

Are e-bikes allowed on Cape Cod bike trails?

On the three that carry most of the Cape's open riding, yes: DCR lists the Cape Cod Rail Trail for Class 1, the Canal's service roads take Class 1 and 3 (Corps), and the Seashore's Province Lands Bike Trail takes every class while you pedal (compendium).

The Shining Sea Bikeway reads Class 1 and 2 on its state-land miles and gray on the Town's. A natural-surface trail a public body runs stays closed until that body opens it (section 11B¾(d)).

Are e-bikes allowed on paved bike paths like the Minuteman Bikeway?

On a town's paved path, your Class 1 or 2 rides unless the town has restricted e-bikes after public notice and a hearing (§ 11B¾(c)). The codes of the Minuteman's three towns, Arlington, Lexington and Bedford, could not be read here, and the map prints 9.1 of the bikeway's 10.4 mapped miles gray because no land record names its owner.

Are e-bikes allowed on mountain bike trails in Massachusetts?

Mostly not on public land. A natural-surface trail a city, town or state agency runs is closed to e-bikes unless that body opens it after a hearing (§ 11B¾(d)), and DCR closes its natural-surface trails (302 CMR 12.12(4)). Haverhill opens its conservation areas to Class 1, 2 and 3 (Haverhill), and Upton opens its conservation land to a Class 1 ridden without a throttle (Upton). On a land trust's trails, the owner decides.

Are e-bikes allowed in Massachusetts state parks?

Only a Class 1, and only on improved trails 8 feet wide or wider: DCR's rule, 302 CMR 12.12(4), closes its other park trails to every e-bike. A Class 2 or 3 may ride only park roads open to vehicles and DCR's bike lanes (302 CMR 12.12(5)).

DCR's location list names 17 facilities (list, as archived October 16, 2025), and this map reads 209 miles of DCR trail recorded 10 feet wide or wider as open to your Class 1.

Are e-bikes considered motorized vehicles in Massachusetts?

Not under the motor vehicle law: "The definition of ''Motor vehicles'' shall not include electric bicycles or motorized bicycles." A land manager may still group e-bikes with motorized vehicles in its own rules. Hingham's Bare Cove Park prohibits "Motorized vehicles, including ebikes", and Mashpee's conservation regulation lists "e-bikes" among the motorized vehicles it bars from town conservation land.

Can you ride an e-bike on the sidewalk in Massachusetts?

No. The statute gives your e-bike a bicycle's rights, "provided, however, that electric bicycles shall not be ridden or operated on sidewalks", whatever its class. DCR's rule bars e-bikes from its sidewalks too (302 CMR 12.12(4)). Ride the road or a path instead.

Are e-bikes allowed on rail trails in Massachusetts?

Usually, though the manager decides the class. DCR's location list names 6 rail trails for Class 1, the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, Canalside Rail Trail, Cape Cod Rail Trail, Nashua River Rail Trail, Norwottuck Rail Trail and Southern New England Trunkline Trail (list, page 2, as archived in 2025), and DCR keeps Class 2 and 3 off its park trails (302 CMR 12.12(5)).

A town's rail trail takes Class 1 and 2 unless the town has restricted e-bikes after a hearing (§ 11B¾(c)).

Do you need a license for an e-bike in Massachusetts?

Not for a Class 1 or 2. The license rule in chapter 90, section 1B binds a "motorized bicycle", and section 1 says that term "shall not include an electric bicycle"; the same section keeps electric bicycles out of "Motor vehicles". A bike that assists past 20 mph is outside the e-bike definition, and read as a motorized bicycle, its rider needs "a valid driver's license or learner's permit".

Do you have to wear a helmet on an e-bike in Massachusetts?

If you are 16 or younger, yes. Your e-bike carries a bicycle rider's duties (§ 11B¾(b)), including this one: "Any person 16 years of age or younger operating a bicycle or being carried as a passenger on a bicycle on a public way, bicycle path or on any other public right-of-way shall wear a helmet." Nantucket asks it of every rider on its paths (Town of Nantucket).

Yes, under the same state law, and off the sidewalks. Along the Charles, DCR's Paul Dudley White Bike Path reads Class 1 where a record shows it 10 feet wide or wider, and gray or closed elsewhere (302 CMR 12.12(4)). The City of Boston's own code could not be read, so the City's paths read gray; the statute's default is Class 1 and 2 on a path unless the City has restricted them.

Where can you ride an e-bike in Worcester, Massachusetts?

Worcester's code, read in its 2026 edition, has no e-bike provision, so on the City's land the statute decides: a paved or stone-dust path takes your Class 1 or 2, and a natural-surface trail is closed (section 11B¾).

At DCR's Quinsigamond State Park, the improved trails recorded 10 feet wide or wider read Class 1 (302 CMR 12.12(4)). The Blackstone River Bikeway's Worcester stretch reads gray, its owner or its surface not on record.

Where can you ride an e-bike in Springfield, Massachusetts?

Springfield's code is published on eCode360, behind a security check, so the City's trails read gray, the Forest Park trails and the Connecticut River Walk and Bikeway among them.

Until the City says otherwise, the statute's default holds: a paved path takes your Class 1 or 2 unless the City has restricted e-bikes, and a natural-surface trail is closed unless it has opened one (section 11B¾). The valley's longest Class 1 ride is DCR's Norwottuck Rail Trail (DCR's list).

Where can you ride an e-bike in Lowell, Massachusetts?

Every mile that reads open in Lowell is DCR's. Its paths along the Merrimack read Class 1 where DCR records them 10 feet wide or wider, and gray where the record's 5-to-10-foot band straddles the 8-foot rule (302 CMR 12.12(4)); most of the Lowell-Dracut-Tyngsborough State Forest's trails are natural surface and closed.

No copy of the City's bylaws or conservation land rules was found on its website, so the City's own paths read gray.

Only where a manager names them, because Massachusetts law defines Class 1 and 2 alone. Haverhill's conservation areas (Haverhill), the Cape Cod Canal's service roads (Corps) and, while you pedal, the Seashore's and Minute Man's routes take a Class 3.

In its parks, forests and rail trails, DCR keeps Class 2 and 3 to roads open to vehicles and its bike lanes (302 CMR 12.12(5)). Where a path is open to e-bikes and no rule names a Class 3, it reads unsettled: 120 miles on this map.

Can you ride a throttle e-bike on Massachusetts trails?

On town and state paths and the watershed roads and rail trails open to e-bikes, yes; on DCR's park trails, no. A throttle bike that stops helping at 20 mph is a Class 2 (§ 1), with a Class 1's path rights (§ 11B¾(b)).

DCR's parks rule opens improved trails to Class 1 only; Minute Man lets the motor help only while you pedal, and the Seashore does the same off roads open to cars. This map reads 185 mapped miles open to a Class 2, 469 to a Class 1.

How we verified this map

  • Trails. 17,628 trails over 12,632 miles from DCR's Roads and Trails inventory and its Division of Water Supply Protection's trails, MassDOT's shared-use paths, MassGIS's Published Trail Segments and its NextGen 911 trail compilation, the National Park Service's trail layer and OpenStreetMap. A stretch two sources both map is counted once, and roads, sidewalks and bike lanes on streets are screened out.
  • Managers. Each trail's manager comes from the source layer where it is the manager's own record, then the owner of record in MassGIS's Protected and Recreational OpenSpace, MassWildlife's lands, federal unit boundaries and OpenStreetMap's park operators, which are flagged as a lead. Where no record names an owner, the trail carries the city or town it lies in only as a location, and the register flags it.
  • Rules. Every rule the map applies is quoted from its own text, whether the statute, DCR's regulation or pages, a park compendium, a federal agency's page, a town's code, regulation or page, or a land trust's property page, retrieved November 8 to 10, 2026, and every quote was checked against the copy we saved; where no rule could be read, the trail is gray.
  • DCR's widths. DCR's inventory records each trail's surface and a width band. A trail recorded 10 feet wide or wider meets the rule's 8 feet, one recorded under 5 feet does not, and the 5-to-10-foot band, or no width on record, reads gray.
  • City and town codes. The own websites of 292 of the 350 cities and towns on this map were read for their e-bike rules and codes on November 9 and 10, 2026; for 58, no site could be shown to be the town's own, or none of its pages answered. A website counted as the town's only when the federal .gov registry files it to the town, the Massachusetts Municipal Association lists it, or its pages read as the town's official site; a town site that answered with a security check was searched in the Internet Archive's existing copies instead. A code counted as read only when its own title page shows the general bylaws or ordinances, or rules for conservation land, trails or parks, in an edition of 2023 or later. The rules of 82 of the 350 cities and towns on this map were read: 11 publish an e-bike rule of their own, 58 were read in their general bylaws or ordinances and 12 in their land rules with no e-bike provision, and 1 says on its own page that it has adopted none.
  • The Trustees. All 132 of the Trustees' property pages were read for their bicycle rules.
  • Law changes. All 365 chapters of the Acts of 2025 and 2026 were read whole, and the 48 bills the Legislature's own search returns for e-bike, micromobility and motorized-bicycle terms were read at their records and texts.
  • The data. Every trail is a row in the register (CSV) with its manager, what its rule says about each class and the rule's source where one was read, and the same rows are published as JSON.
  • Demand. The trails and questions on this page were chosen from 2,883 Google and Bing search suggestions, 587 headings from the pages that rank, 27 forum posts and a 14-prompt AI panel. 720 of those 3,511 map to a section of this page, and the demand ledger lists every row with its source.

By Milad Ghobadibeygvand, BScN (Western University, 2014), Redtail eBikes. Every rule this map applies was read November 8 to 10, 2026, and every quote checked against the copy we saved. Found a rule that has changed since? Email the trail's name and a link to the new rule to support@redtailebikes.com, and we will read that trail's row in the register again.

Limitations

  1. City and town codes. The rules of 268 cities and towns could not be read, for the reasons given under city and town rules, and their trails read gray, each row giving the trail's surface and the statute whose default holds there. For 37 towns, the search of the town's website stopped at 40 pages with links left to read. A town read in an edition of 2023 or later may have amended its bylaws since, and a vote by a conservation commission or select board that never reached its website was not read.
  2. Sites that refused. Mass.gov, the codes on eCode360, American Legal, Municode and Code Publishing, and the websites of 45 towns answered with a refusal or a security check when read in November 2026. DCR's regulation and pages, and the codes of the walled towns where the Internet Archive held a copy, were read in Wayback captures, each dated in the register; no capture was requested. DCR's list of the facilities it opens to Class 1 is the Internet Archive's latest copy, from October 16, 2025 (its later pages September 4, 2025), so a facility DCR has listed since is not marked.
  3. No owner on record. 2,116 miles lie on ground for which the state's protected-land layer records no owner; they read gray, and the city or town named beside each is only its location.
  4. DCR's widths. DCR records widths in bands, so a trail in the 5-to-10-foot band may or may not meet the 8-foot rule, and a path in a listed park with no width on record reads gray. The Correllus Bike Path's two DCR records disagree, and both are printed.
  5. Class 3. Massachusetts law defines no Class 3; where only the statute speaks, the map prints a Class 3 as unsettled and gives both readings.
  6. Land trusts and private land. The rules of the Trustees, Mass Audubon, the Nantucket Conservation Foundation and the Martha's Vineyard Land Bank were read; other land trusts' and private owners' were not, and their trails read as the owner's call.
  7. The Land Bank. The Martha's Vineyard Land Bank's policies list mountain biking among the uses its land is for and say nothing of e-bikes, and whether the statute's natural-surface rule reaches a land bank is unsettled, so its trails read gray.
  8. Federal sites. The Fish and Wildlife Service's hatcheries were not read, and a refuge whose page lists no biking reads gray.
  9. Demand measured from outside the United States. The machine that ran the search-suggestion harvest and the AI panel geolocates outside the United States; suggestions and answers about places outside Massachusetts were set aside, not counted.
  10. After our read. Groveland's Select Board heard its interim regulation on the evening of November 9, 2026, and the town's website had posted no decision when this map was read on November 10; ask the Town whether it was adopted. Easthampton's proposed ordinance was on the agenda of the City Council's Public Safety Committee for the evening of November 10, 2026; ask the City whether a hearing has since been set.
  11. When this map expires. A rule here changes when the Legislature amends § 11B¾ or the e-bike definition, when DCR amends 302 CMR 12 or its list, when a park changes its compendium, when a refuge changes its page, and when a city, a town or a land trust adopts a rule. Check the verification date at the top before you ride.
  12. This is not legal advice. Rules change, and a posted sign at the trail governs. The map reflects the rules as read November 8 to 10, 2026.
