The memorandum states ‘E-bikes are allowed where traditional bicycles are allowed. E-bikes are not allowed where traditional bicycles are prohibited, including wilderness areas…… The intent of this policy is to allow e-bikes to be used for transportation and recreation in a similar manner to traditional bicycles.’
In practice this means park visitors will be able to use e-bikes in the same way they use traditional bikes which, according to a National Parks press release, is “on park roads, paved or hardened trails, areas designated for off-road motor vehicle use and administrative roads.” [Read more…] about Guide to Electric Biking in the National Parks & National Monuments [VIDEOS]

It’s a common perception in cycling circles that the Netherlands is the best cycling destination in the world; traffic-free well-signed routes guide you across this relatively small country where distances between attractions and stop-offs are small.
My previous cycle trips there had confirmed this but as it had been a few years since I last visited by bike I decided it was time to hop on the DFDS ferry at the Port of Tyne east of Newcastle’s centre and head for the Dutch port of Ijmuiden just west of Amsterdam – just to see if e-biker’s paradise really does exist.

The RadRunner at its core is a fun and playful eBike to ride but it doesn’t stop there.
It also has a bunch of versatile passenger/cargo options, impressive performance, and a price of $1,299!
This eUtility is a mashup of a moped and cargo bike with some BMX styling thrown in to create an eBike that has an agile yet stable ride feel that is easy to get on and go.
The 750 watt motor is well sized for a sporty ride along with the ability to carry a passenger and cargo.
And the high capacity 48V 14ah battery really goes the distance as you will see in the range test results.
Rad Power Bikes offers a bunch of accessory options to make the RadRunner fit your specific daily riding needs.
