Provo River Parkway Trail

Why We Love It

Running from Utah Lake up into Provo Canyon, the Provo River Parkway Trail is an exciting 30-mile paved trail for hikers, e-bikes, and bicyclists.


About 7.5 miles of the trail are within Provo City Limits, with the rest of the trail maintained by Orem City and Utah County.


There are many access points to the trail, including amenities like restrooms and picnic areas.


Plus, the scenery can’t be beat. You’ll pass wetlands, farmland, and forested areas, with plenty of river and waterfall views.


This 15-mile route is a can’t-miss destination. 


When To Visit

The trail is typically open year-round, but watch for periodic closures for maintenance and improvements.


Which E-Bike Classes Are Allowed?

Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes are allowed on the trail, but Class 3 e-bikes (those with maximum assisted speed up to 28 mph) are prohibited.

Why We Love It

We love urban riding options that make e-bike recreation and commuting a little easier.


While e-bikes are prohibited from all single-track trails in Park City, a number of multi-use paths are e-bike friendly!


The city clarifies that e-bike use is permitted, “on soft-surface trails wider than five feet and all paved multi-use paths within Park City.”


To get more specific, check out this PDF of Multi-Use Paths That Permit E-Bikes in Park City.


When To Visit

Path hours may vary, so count on visiting during daylight hours when possible.


Which E-Bike Classes Are Allowed?

Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes are permitted on trails meeting the criteria above.


Class 3 e-bikes are only permitted on roadways in Park City.


Bryce Canyon Shared Use Path

Bryce Canyon is known for its distinctive hoodoos – tall, thin rock formations caused by erosion. Explore the unique landscape on the Bryce Canyon Shared Use Path! Image Source: Flickr

Why We Love It

This 18-mile paved path lets you choose your own adventure:


Explore the entire path and climb over 1,000 ft in elevation gain on the way up, then descend a whopping 2,080 ft descent on the path down!


Or, choose the common 5-mile stretch connecting Bryce Canyon City with Inspiration Point, with a more modest gain of 746 feet and descent of 266 feet.


Whichever you choose, the path is open to:

  • Pedestrians (including leashed pets)

  • Wheelchairs

  • Cyclists

  • E-bikes

  • Skates and rollerblades

  • Longboards

  • Non-motorized scooters

  • Cross-country skiers


When To Visit

Bryce Canyon National Park is open 24 hours a day year-round.


You can even rent cross-country skis or snowshoes for winter visits!


Admission fees apply: choose a Pass to access other National Parks or pay the park admission fee.



Which E-Bike Classes Are Allowed?

Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes are permitted. Class 3 e-bikes (those with maximum assisted speed up to 28 mph) are not allowed.


E-bike riders, take note: you must use your pedals while riding an e-bike on Bryce Canyon Shared Use Path — no throttle-only riding, except on roadways.


E-bikes are definitely legal in Utah! The state recognizes the traditional 3-class system of e-bikes and riders face very few restrictions.


All you really need to know is that if helmets are required for bicyclists near you, then you’ll need a helmet when riding your e-bike.


You can hit bicycle-friendly trails in Utah State Parks with your e-bike, too.


Outside of parks, stick to bike lanes, bike paths, and multi-use paths — stay off the sidewalks!


Do I Need a Driver’s License For E-Bikes In Utah?

Overall, the State of Utah doesn’t require insurance, registration, or a license to operate an e-bike.


However, cities are allowed to place their own restrictions. 


For example, the City of Provo requires licenses for all bicycles. 


So, be sure to check your local city government for more information.

Are There E-Bike Incentive Programs In Utah?

Utah has had just 1 known incentive program as of this writing, but we’re sure that more will be on the way!


It’s tough to keep a current list of active e-bike incentive programs because cities, counties, and states open and close them all the time.


When a program reaches its cap, it typically closes until a new program is approved in the area.


Check out our article about e-bike incentives to learn more and find resources for the latest information.

Customer photo review of Multi-Purpose Front Cargo Basket - Reward

I ride my bike to and from work and this has been a lifesaver for any additional bags that I’m carrying! I have crate basket on the back of MyMelody bike and use this front one for my lunch bag.

I’m enjoying the basket so far I was able to carry some groceries in it and some other items. I really like the bamboo I’m just wondering if it could be a couple inches deeper so that things fit in there a little bit tighter maybe only like a couple more inches.

Customer photo review of Freewheel Motor Wheel - Pathfinder 500/T

The mechanic assembled the new tire but with throttle engaged the tire doesn't t turn. Seems to be locked. Push the bike and the pedals move forward with the bike. Will not coast and pedals will not move backwards. Bike accelerated on its own. Throttle spring ok

Customer photo review of Edge

I’ve had the Magnum Edge from Costco for about a month now, and overall I’ve enjoyed riding it, especially the 26x4 tires. They feel stable and solid on different surfaces and give the bike a really confident ride. The motor is strong and easily reaches 28 mph without much effort. I also like that it has both cadence and torque modes. With cadence mode, you can lightly pedal and still hit top speed pretty comfortably, which makes cruising really easy. One thing I actually appreciate is the display, it shows useful info like motor power (watts) and voltage. That said, the placement of the screen is a downside for me since it’s positioned low. It makes you look down while riding, which doesn’t feel very safe because your attention should really stay on the road. I’ve noticed the battery indicator can be a bit inconsistent too. For example, when I stop, it sometimes changes from 3 bars to 4 bars, which makes it a little confusing to read. The bike itself looks great, I got the light blue camouflage color, and it really stands out in a good way. I also like small details like the bell, which is loud and effective, and the option to store an AirTag, which adds a bit of security. However, there are definitely some downsides. The front light is pretty weak for a bike that can go 28 mph. It only lights up a short distance ahead, which doesn’t feel safe at higher speeds or in the dark. I’ll probably need to upgrade it with a better aftermarket light. For a $2100 bike, I really expected stronger lighting out of the box. The seat is another issue, it gets uncomfortable after about 15 minutes of riding. I’ll likely have to replace it with something more cushioned for longer rides. It also surprised me that there’s no rear light included, and accessories like the rear rack and fenders are sold separately. For the price, I feel like those should already be included, especially something as important as a rear light for safety when braking. Overall, the bike performs well in terms of motor, braking, and battery, and it’s fun to ride. But it definitely feels like they cut corners on some important accessories and comfort features. If you’re okay spending a few extra hundred dollars on upgrades, then it becomes a much more complete and enjoyable setup. **Update:** After posting my review, Magnum reached out to me personally to answer my questions and explain some of the features I mentioned. I really appreciate them taking the time to listen to my feedback and provide more information about the battery indicator, lighting, and accessory options. It’s great to see a company that cares about customer experiences and is willing to improve. The Edge continues to be a fun bike to ride, and I appreciate Magnum’s support and customer service.

Customer photo review of Battery Seat - i6 - Top + Keys

There was no battery connector attached to the replacement unit. I had to purchase a soldering iron, strip the wires and solder it. Now I am having connection issues with the battery. Very frustrating

Customer photo review of Multi-Purpose Front Cargo Basket

Overall, a very nice bike basket! The only issue I ran into was with my bike cables. Initially, the basket snagged the left brake cable, which restricted my left turns. However, after reinstalling it three times and experimenting with different cable configurations, I got it to work perfectly. It no longer limits my steering, and most importantly, it doesn't interfere with the brakes.

Customer photo review of Charger - i6 - 48V 2Ah

We inherited two eBikes without chargers, and needed to buy two. One 48 v. for my Peak 29" and one 36 v. for my wife's Mi5. Both seem to be working fine. I worry about fires with aftermarket chargers, and was happy to pay the extra for the real deal.

Customer photo review of Edge

I am a 6"1" 210 pounder. Fit is perfect. Plenty of power. Sturdy good looking bike. Very happy. Added tannus armor, Back rack, rear view mirror and front and rear fenders with integrated light. ( installation instructions for the light were non existent) Still haven't figure out how to hook it up. Tech help said to connect to wire at controller, There are a few wires tucked in there don't really want to start tugging around to find the right one. Other than that, I am Golden. Might buy one for wife. (minus the taillight!) Update, EXCELLENT customer service. Dusty sent instructions as well as photos and I now have a taillight. Thanks Magnum.

Well made and very simple to use. It's the perfect size for my Samsung Galaxy A36 and with the padded insert, I can also add my garage door opener in addition to my phone. The velcro straps hold this bike wallet firmly in place and attaching it to my bike was really easy.
