Kingdom Trails has always been about connecting people with the beauty of the Northeast Kingdom through world-class trail experiences. Now, with the recent policy change welcoming e-bikes, these magnificent trails are becoming accessible to more riders than ever before.
What's Changed at Kingdom Trails
Kingdom Trails Association has officially updated their policy to allow class 1 e-bikes (pedal-assist bikes with no throttle) on designated trails throughout the network. This thoughtful approach balances increased accessibility with trail preservation and rider experience.
Why This Matters
This change is transformative for many potential visitors who previously found the challenging Vermont terrain a barrier to entry:
Extended Adventures: Riders can explore more of the 100+ mile trail network in a single outing
Multi-generational Riding: Families can now ride together regardless of fitness levels
Adaptive Opportunities: Those with physical limitations can experience the joy of mountain biking
Recovery Riders: Athletes recovering from injury can gradually return to the sport they love
Rental Options
Don't own an e-bike? No problem! Several local outfitters now offer e-bike rentals, including our partners at East Burke Sports and Kingdom Bike Rentals. Just ask our front desk staff for recommendations and special Village Inn guest discounts.
Kingdom Trails asks all e-bikers to ride respectfully, stay on designated trails, yield appropriately, and follow all posted guidelines. Remember that e-bikes are welcome to enhance accessibility, not to dramatically increase speeds on shared trails.
Whether you're an experienced rider looking to cover more ground or someone who's always wanted to experience the legendary Kingdom Trails but felt intimidated by the terrain, the new e-bike policy opens exciting possibilities. Book your stay at The Village Inn today and discover a new way to experience the Kingdom!
Looking for the perfect basecamp for your Kingdom Trails e-bike adventure? The Village Inn offers comfortable rooms just steps from the trailhead.
