If you haven’t heard the news, e-bikes have been approved to access almost all trails in Moab starting in March of 2026. Until this change happened, we were limited to where we could ride e-bikes to just a few singletrack trail systems and jeep roads around the area. We think e-bikes can be fun for any type of rider and here is what we are most excited about:
E-bikes Can Bring People Together
When there are different fitness levels on a ride, it can be challenging for everyone to have a good time. But e-bikes can help level the playing field for riders who do not get out as much but still want to join. The extra boost the motor offers can help them join in with faster riders and help everyone have a great time out on bikes!

- half on e-bikes and half on analog bikes. Everyone had a great time!
Go faster and farther
Even if you are an experienced rider with good fitness, e-bikes can help you cover more ground in the same amount of time. In the Moab area, we have a lot of sandy trails that can slow down any rider, but e-bikes can help speed you along to cover more distance. There are plenty of bigger loops to explore and instead of taking all day on an analog bike, you can cover the same distance in just a few hours. You can even fit in two rides instead of just one!
 Our guests and guide love to cover more distance on e-bikes.
Explore new areas
Adding on to the note above, we have loved exploring new zones on our e-bikes. In addition to the hundreds of miles of singletrack around Moab, there are plenty of fun jeep roads to explore beautiful places. We love heading out in the Blue Buffalo area, with endless options of loops ranging from moderate to advanced. There are hundreds of miles of jeep roads to explore and e-bikes make it fun to get out on the path less traveled by bike.
 There are so many unique places to explore via jeep roads. E-bikes make them easier and more fun!
More fun
Less challenge = more fun! We know that there are some hardcore athletes out there that love the suffer, but we also know that most people want to get out to see new places and experience the joy of riding a bikes. Having an e-bike can make the ride a bit less physically challenging, which can mean more fun overall. Don’t be fooled though
- you can still get a good workout and physical challenge on an e-bike! One of our favorite rides on e-bikes is the Slickrock Bike Trail. E-bikes allow you a better chance of making it up the steep climbs, but it can still be a fun challenge (as opposed to a slog!).
