Road, Mountain & E-Biking

Truckee-Tahoe is a world-class biking destination for all types of riding from e-bike cruising on scenic paved paths to technical mountain bike descents and flowy, approachable singletrack. Whether your wheels of choice are an e-bike, gravel bike, mountain bike, or road bike, there are endless dirt trails and scenic paved paths.

The Town of Truckee, in partnership with BCycle, has launched an E-bike share program! You can find bikes at stations throughout Truckee from Donner Lake to the Truckee River Legacy trailhead in Glenshire. The electric bikes, which feature a pedal-assist motor, can be found and unlocked from docking stations using the BCycle mobile app. Riders can also use the BCycle app to plan bike-safe routes to their destination, and find open docks to return their bike upon completion of their environmentally friendly trip.
