The City follows Minnesota State Law, which permits Class 1 (pedal-assist) and Class 2 (throttle- assist) e-bikes on multi-use paved trails. Both classes are limited to a top speed of 20 miles per hour. Class 3 (pedal- assist) e-bikes, which can reach higher speeds, are intended for road use and are not recommended on shared trails. On roads, all e-bike classes and motorized scooters must follow the same traffic laws as bicycles. Riders should stay as far to the right as practicable, signal turns, obey traffic signs and signals, and use lights and reflectors when riding at night. Motorized scooters are not allowed on sidewalks but may be used in bike lanes or on roadways and paved shared trails. On trails, please yield to pedestrians, announce yourself when passing and maintain a safe, respectful speed. Staying alert and aware of others helps keep trails welcoming for everyone. Currently, Arden Hills has no additional restrictions beyond state guidelines. The City will continue to monitor trail and road use to ensure safety and accessibility for all. E-Bikes and Motorized Scooters City Commissions and Committees Meetings Arden Hills has several Commissions and Committees which allow the City to benefit from the expertise and experience of those who live and work in the city.
