🚨The USFS has announced approval of Class 1 pedal-assist e-bikes on approximately 112 miles of trails in the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU) at Lake Tahoe in California and Nevada.🚨
This ruling has come following completion of the NEPA review process, significant research, collaboration with user groups, and public comment.
What is a Class 1 e-bike: an e-bike equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling (no throttle) and that ceases to provide assistance when the e-bike reaches the speed of 20 miles per hour.👍

What do Tahoe Trails Mean to You? To Max Landon BBP Dirt Lord and Volunteer Crew Lead (as well as Pizza 🍕 slangin’ entrepreneur @getradpizza), Tahoe trails starts with Bijou Bike Park (@bijou_bike_park) and the community that sculpts, sessions, and supports one another. We absolutely love Max’s passion (and his ‘za) Read the full quote below 👇

“Biking has been a source of self-expression, freedom, and solace for me since childhood. As a kid, I spent endless days shaping dirt jumps in the county park beside my parents’ home, hands in the soil, imagination running free. That early love for dirt and BMX never faded—it grew with me, carrying into adulthood and becoming a lifelong passion.

The art of BMX and the act of sculpting dirt remain deeply woven into who I am. Watching bike park culture evolve over the years has been profoundly moving, and seeing cities like South Lake Tahoe embrace and nurture bike parks as true community spaces—through places like Bijou Bike Park and the stewardship of organizations such as TAMBA—fills me with deep gratitude and joy.

I look forward to a future where these spaces continue to grow—places of creativity, safety, and belonging for generations of riders yet to come.”

What do Tahoe trails mean to you? To TAMBA Board Member, lifetime local, and SLBC Owner, Tahoe trails hold childhood memories and are a legacy to share with his young family. See the full quote below 👇

“Growing up in Tahoe I got to ride the local trails with my family and fall in love with mountain biking. 25 years later, I am able to share these same trails with my sons and help stoke their sense of adventure.

These trails I’ve grown up with wouldn’t have lasted over the years without dedicated volunteers pouring their love into maintaining and improving Tahoe trails. Being part of TAMBA means I’m helping create fun and sustainable trails for the next generation to enjoy.”
