We’ve seen an increase in gas and electric dirt bikes on the trails lately, so here’s a friendly reminder:
Only pedal-assist e-bikes that meet Class 1, 2, or 3 standards are allowed on Duluth’s multi-use, natural surface trails.
E-motos like SurRons and any bike *without* functional cranks and pedals are not permitted. Their higher speeds and weights pose serious safety risks and can damage the trail system. This is a ordinance that applies to all trails.
Electric Motorcycles are allowed on designated off highway vehicle trails like the Nemadji State Forest OHV Trails south of Duluth.
If you see violations, please report them to the Duluth Police Department
Thanks for helping keep our trails safe and sustainable.
Enjoy the beautiful spring riding!
