Camping Guidelines for Tiadaghton State Forest

Bureau of Forestry Guidelines for E-Bikes

The Bureau of Forestry has received requests from individuals regarding the legality of using an electric pedal assisted bicycle (E-bike) on Pennsylvania State Forest trails already open to mountain bikes. E-Bikes are based on the concept of augmenting, not replacing, human power to move from one place to another. These types of bikes have an electronic control system that senses the rider’s effort (rear wheel torque and/or speed) and then augments that effort by supplying power from an on-board battery to an electric motor that also powers the rear wheel. The electric motor not only “pulls its own weight” but makes pedaling easier for the biker. The result is that the rider can travel longer distances with less physical effort. 

In reviewing the information available about these bikes, the Bureau of Forestry will now accept the use of Class 1 E-bikes on trails open to mountain bikes provided they meet ALL the following standards:

4. Have a maximum speed <20 MPH 

5. Does not have the capability of being
