E-bikes at Cycle Oregon
Rules and Support
We have made increased e-bike support a focus for 2023 and will be updating our terms of support as we learn more and develop improved systems. This is a complicated challenge with numerous variables but it is a challenge we are excited to take on. Please check back in for updates and thank you for your patience.
By Event
We’re excited about the experience e-bikes offer riders, and while we welcome e-bikes on all courses, we are extremely limited by the access to power outlets in many of the small communities and remote locations where we make camp. Cycle Oregon cannot guarantee electrical outlet access to any areas of camp, though we will work to map best availability prior to the event. You must bring your own charging cord and/or charging dock for your bicycle.
Riders are responsible for ensuring their bicycle battery is fully charged before beginning each route and that they understand its capabilities for the distance, speed, and elevation they have chosen to ride that day. There will be no charging stations on course.
Please read the details below for specific charging details and limits for each event.
