Both lanes share one scale: the 957 mi of National Forest System trail mapped in Manti-La Sal National Forest, Utah. From USFS National Forest System Trails records, updated October 2026.
In Manti-La Sal National Forest, USFS travel-management data records Class 1 e-bike access on 139 trail segments (377 mi), Class 2 on 139, and Class 3 on 139. Conventional (non-motorized) mountain bikes are designated on 74 segments. On Forest Service land an e-bike is a motor vehicle, so it is allowed only where designated.
E-bike access by class
This forest has completed e-bike travel-management designations: the dataset records Class 1 access on more trail segments than it does for conventional bikes, because the e-bike fields were filled in comprehensively during that process.

Frequently asked questions
- Are e-bikes allowed in Manti-La Sal 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 Manti-La Sal National Forest, Class 1 access is recorded on 139 trail segments; Class 2 and 3 on 139 and 139 respectively.
- Does an e-bike count as a mountain bike on Manti-La Sal 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 Manti-La Sal National Forest?
- Most bike-designated trails in Manti-La Sal 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.
