Both lanes share one scale: the 1,462 mi of National Forest System trail mapped in Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, Arizona. From USFS National Forest System Trails records, updated October 2026.
In Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, USFS travel-management data records Class 1 e-bike access on 15 trail segments (84.4 mi), Class 2 on 15, and Class 3 on 15. Conventional (non-motorized) mountain bikes are designated on 62 segments. On Forest Service land an e-bike is a motor vehicle, so it is allowed only where designated.
E-bike access by class
Where a trail is open to conventional bikes, check the e-bike columns separately — a non-motorized mountain bike being allowed does not by itself mean an e-bike is.

Frequently asked questions
- Are e-bikes allowed in Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests?
- On National Forest System land, e-bikes are legally motor vehicles. Under U.S. Forest Service policy (36 CFR 212; FSM 7700), an e-bike of any class may be ridden only on routes that are designated for motor-vehicle use or specifically designated for e-bike use — not on every trail where a conventional (non-motorized) mountain bike is allowed. In Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests, Class 1 access is recorded on 15 trail segments; Class 2 and 3 on 15 and 15 respectively.
- Does an e-bike count as a mountain bike on Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests trails?
- No. Under USFS policy an e-bike of any class is a motor vehicle, even Class 1 pedal-assist. A trail being open to conventional bikes does not by itself permit e-bikes — the trail must carry an e-bike or motorized designation.
- When are bikes open in Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests?
- Most bike-designated trails in Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests carry a Year-round season window in the USFS data; higher-elevation trails open later as snow clears. Always confirm current conditions with the ranger district.
