Both lanes share one scale: the 1,193 mi of National Forest System trail mapped in Coronado National Forest, Arizona. From USFS National Forest System Trails records, updated October 2026.
In Coronado National Forest, USFS travel-management data records Class 1 e-bike access on 42 trail segments (60.2 mi), Class 2 on 42, and Class 3 on 42. Conventional (non-motorized) mountain bikes are designated on 75 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.

|---|---|---|
| Class 1designatedPedal-assist only, motor cuts out at 20 mph, no throttle. | 42 | 60.2 mi |

Frequently asked questions
- Are e-bikes allowed in Coronado National Forest?
- 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 Coronado National Forest, Class 1 access is recorded on 42 trail segments; Class 2 and 3 on 42 and 42 respectively.
- Does an e-bike count as a mountain bike on Coronado National Forest 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 Coronado National Forest?
- Most bike-designated trails in Coronado National Forest 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.
