Where can e-MTB's (electronic mountain bikes) be legally ridden in the Verde Valley/Sedona? Nearly all of the legal MTB trails are located within the Coconino and Prescott National Forests, where e-MTB's are considered motorized vehicles. Therefore they are unsanctioned and illegal. However, there are options for e-MTB routes in the Verde Valley. Here is a summary of the current legal riding options for off-road e-bikes, which include e-MTB's: |
