36 CFR §4.30 - BICYCLES
From the Laws and Policies Section of the website:
(a)(1) Bicycle and electric assisted bicycle use is permitted only on the Park Tour Road within the entrance gates of the park. Bicycles on State Road 49 or County Road 79 are subject to state law and due care.
(a)(2) "Electric assisted bicycle" means a device with two or three wheels which has a saddle and fully operative pedals for human propulsion and also has an electric motor. For such a device to be considered an electric assisted bicycle, it shall meet the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, as set forth in 49 C.F.R. Section 571, et seq., and shall operate in such a manner that the electric motor disengages or ceases to function when the brakes are applied. The electric motor in an electric assisted bicycle shall:
- Have a power output of not more than 1,000 watts;
- Be incapable of propelling the device at a speed of more than 20 miles per hour on level ground; and
- Be incapable of further increasing the speed of the device when human power alone is used to propel the device at or more than 20 miles per hour.
Justification: In the interests of visitor safety, bicycles and electric bicycles are not allowed on the nature trail or on the fire roads
