New E-Bike Guidance

13 May 2025

E-bikes, and e-mountain bikes, known legally as electric assist pedal cycles (EAPC) have grown massively over the last few years. This guidance is to help e-bike riders be responsible when using our fantastic access rights, as described in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

The popularity of E-bikes, including e-mountain bikes, has grown considerably over the last few years. In some cases, the e-bike is the riders’ access to and first experience of mountain biking.

This guidance is to help e-bike riders be responsible when using our fantastic access rights, as described in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

It is hoped this will help the mountain bike community be known for their responsible use of the countryside, trails, and interactions with other users and land managers/owners who are working on the land.
