E-Bikes on Trails? Sheriff Says No

On World Bicycle Day, the Allen County Sheriff’s Department issued a clear warning: not all bikes belong on trails—especially e-bikes. Class three e-bikes, capable of hitting 60-70 mph, are banned, and even regular e-bikes shouldn’t exceed 20 mph. Officer Aaron Robbins compared reckless riding to speeding in a sports car—citations are real, and it’s a class three offense. Safety first: the department wants everyone on the right bike with proper gear, not to keep kids off, but to keep trails safe for all. Check Fort Wayne Trails for full rules.
