Both lanes share one scale: the 2,710 mi of National Forest System trail mapped in Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Utah. From USFS National Forest System Trails records, updated October 2026.
In Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, USFS travel-management data records Class 1 e-bike access on 196 trail segments (592 mi), Class 2 on 196, and Class 3 on 196.

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 Uinta-Wasatch-Cache 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 Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Class 1 access is recorded on 196 trail segments; Class 2 and 3 on 196 and 196 respectively.
- Does an e-bike count as a mountain bike on Uinta-Wasatch-Cache 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 Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest?
- Most bike-designated trails in Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest carry a Jun–Oct season window in the USFS data; higher-elevation trails open later as snow clears. Always confirm current conditions with the ranger district.
