The rules

The Forest Service treats e-bikes as motor vehicles, so they may use roads and trails open to motorized use, such as the Chadwick motorized trails. They are not allowed on non-motorized national forest trails unless locally designated. All Chadwick riders must buy and display a trail permit or daily tag.

What the official source says:

Class 1, 2, and 3 e-bikes are allowed on motorized trails and roads on national forests and grasslands.
