Hi, I know that Burke does not allow any type of ebikes. I am wondering if other places in Vermont also don't allow ebikes. Being from Quebec, I'm planning ahead for the fall season right now. I've ridden most of the trails around Waterbury and Stowe areas on my SS, but I have converted to an ebike this year, the only goal is making the uphill as fun as the downhill. At 63, been riding since 1989, I have climbed enough non-assisted. I DON'T WANT TO START AN EBIKE DISCUSSION HERE.

So, interested in knowing for Caddy Hill, Perry Hill, Millstone, Amy's Farm (Pittsfield), Blueberry Lake, and other trail networks down the 100.

Thanks in advance

The VMBA website has good resources on organizations that allow E-Bike access.

Nobody here cares when people over 60 ride ebikes. I have heard Burke in particular won’t say anything to people who don’t appear to be using ebikes to effectively shuttle the downhills.

Do your thing. I doubt anyone is going to make a stink about it, especially to a 63 y/o. I can't imagine anyone at Burke or KT actually stopping you and making a big deal of it. I've been riding there for over 10 years and I haven't even had so much as anyone even check to see if I have a day pass or not.

Indeed. I rode Perry Hill today. If I saw some some young bucks lapping the place on ebikes they would get atleast an earful. An older gentleman out to get a ride in with a bit of pedal assist? They get a “have fun man!” The locals at KT have the same unwritten rules.

Thanks for your input, really appreciated. My wife and I have been going down to Vermont so many times to ride.... I just want to go back again and again...
