Which classes: Depends on section: none on Mark Twain NF sections; other sections follow that land manager's rule

The rules

Each landowner sets its own rules, so e-bike access changes by section. Sections on Mark Twain National Forest are closed to e-bikes because the Forest Service treats them as motor vehicles. Check the managing agency before riding a section.

What the official source says:

Each land steward sets the rules for trail use on their property.
