Ride Your E-Bike in Louisiana
One place for trails, laws, and bike picks — built for riders who actually live and ride in the Bayou State.
Start here, then drill into individual trail guides, e-bike law breakdowns, and local ride ideas.
Which Bike for Which Trail?
Not every route needs a 6,000W monster. Use this as a starting point — then choose the bike that fits how you actually ride.
Hint: You can't go wrong with a T16 for paved paths or a GatorHunt / GatorDirt for mixed and forest roads.
Louisiana E-Bike Laws
Class 1–3 rules, helmet requirements, age limits and where you can ride — written in plain English.

Tammany Trace Mandeville → Covington
~24 miles round trip • T16 or GT20 PRO
Park near the lakefront in Mandeville, ride shaded Trace into Covington for coffee/brunch, then cruise back. Flat, scenic, and perfect for a "show someone why e-bikes are awesome" day.
Levee Trail from Audubon
10–15 miles • GatorHunt GT20 PRO
Start at the Fly near Audubon Park, head upriver along the levee until the sun drops, then roll back as the city lights come on. Wind can be real — that's where dual‑motor power shines.
Kisatchie Forest Road Sampler
25–35 miles • GatorDirt or GT20 PRO
Use the Kisatchie guide plus MVUM maps to string together a gravel loop off the Longleaf Scenic Byway. Rolling hills, pine forests, and zero traffic if you plan it right. Bring tools and extra water.
