Essential Tips for California E-Bike Adventures
Planning Your Route: Spring and autumn offer optimal riding conditions, avoiding summer's heavy tourist traffic and winter's potential flooding along the northern coast.

Safety Considerations: Always check trail access regulations before riding, as e-bike policies vary significantly between parks and municipalities. Helmet requirements vary by bike class, with Class 3 e-bikes requiring mandatory helmet use.
