Hiawatha Trail - Idaho / Montana border

[Jr Samples]

Hi all,

Has anyone in the Forum done the Hiawatha Trail on their Rad bikes? Some are saying they might now allow Class 2 bikes on the trail.

TIA

And a link to the current NO Tyoe 2 e-bikes allowed at this time -

Well this is certainly interesting and I have never heard this. I do live in Idaho and I've never heard of this problem before.
I went hunting on YouTube and found this video and these people actually rented rad power bikes from a shop in Wallace. I would suggest calling the bike shop in Wallace and asking them about this issue with no type 2 bikes allowed.
I would imagine it would be pretty easy to disconnect the throttle then there would be no questions needed.

I have ridden the trail, but I have not rode it on my ebike. Part of the trail is open to atvs. And I have ridden standard bike and an Atv on the trail. I rented Rad bikes from the shop in Wallace and they wanted us to go to this trail for the day but we chose not to. I am not sure if they would hall your bikes back up from the bottom because of the size and weight of the ebike so I would check that out first.

Throttle is easy to disconnect, and is the only difference between class 1 and class 2, but they may not accept a simple disconnect. Why they would split hairs is beyond me, but it's their trail. Turning the pedals or turning the throttle yields the same results anyway.
