As of March 1, 2026, nearly 200 miles of mountain bike trails in the Moab Field Office will be available for use by Class 1 e-bikers. This decision follows a public scoping period conducted by the field office and a decision issued in September 2025.
The available trails for Class 1 e-bikers include the Athena, Horsethief, Navajo Rocks, Gemini Bridges Area, 7-Up, Gold Bar Rim, Portal, Klondike Bluffs, Baby Steps, Klonzo, Moab Brands, Amasa Back, Jackson, Hunter Canyon Rim, Pipe Dream, and Raptor Route mountain bike trail systems. Additionally, the Kokopelli Mountain Bike Trail includes 1.7 miles of non-motorized singletrack trail.
Certain trails will remain open to mountain bikes but will not allow e-bikes. These include Lower Porcupine Singletrack, Eagle Eye, Porcupine Rim Singletrack, Fisher Mesa, Mill Creek Rim/Old Mail Trail, Hidden Valley, and Zephyr.
According to 43 CFR 8340.0-5(j), a Class 1 e-bike is a two- or three-wheeled bicycle with pedals and an electric motor of no more than 750 watts. This class provides motor assistance only when the rider is pedaling and stops assistance at 20 miles per hour.
Under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, individuals with disabilities may request a reasonable modification to use an e-bike as an other power driven mobility device on non-motorized mountain bike trails within the BLM Moab Field Office.
The 1.8-million-acre BLM Moab Field Office is a mountain bike recreation destination for residents of Grand and San Juan Counties, as well as regional, state-wide, national, and international visitors. The area contains over 197 miles of mountain bike trails and 12 mountain bike trail systems.
