Building a Movement
But this isn’t just about winning a bike — it’s about building a movement. At BlueRibbon Coalition, we’re leading the charge to expand access for Class 1 pedal-assist e-bikes on public land trails where traditional bikes are already allowed. These bikes offer an accessible, low-impact way to enjoy the outdoors, especially for older users or those with physical limitations. Unfortunately, outdated policies still ban e-bikes from too many trails, even when they pose no greater impact than conventional bikes. That’s why your participation in this sweepstakes also helps fuel our legal and advocacy campaigns to open more public lands to e-bike access.
Whether you’re dreaming of climbing alpine trails or cruising scenic byways, the Bakcou Scout is your ticket to freedom and exploration — and by entering this sweepstakes, you’re also backing a powerful push for smarter, more inclusive recreation policy. Help us unlock more trails for more people — and maybe win the ultimate trail-riding machine while you’re at it.

Expand Access
Preserve the Experience
At BlueRibbon Coalition, we’re leading the charge to expand access for Class 1 e-bikes on public trails where traditional bikes are already allowed. These bikes offer an accessible, low-impact way to enjoy the outdoors.
E-bikes are a vital access tool for older riders, people with physical limitations, and families with young children who want to recreate together. These bikes expand access while maintaining the spirit of non-motorized trail use. Class 1 e-bikes are low-powered pedal-assist bikes with no throttle and limited speeds, making them appropriate for shared-use trails without degrading the user experience.
Make It Make Sense
Streamlining Public Land Policies
Unfortunately, outdated policies still ban e-bikes from too many trails, even when they pose no greater impact than conventional bikes. Access is currently mismanaged through a combination of conflicting permissions and restrictions in a policy environment that creates uncertainty and liability for E-bike users and the E-bike economy.
Recently, The National Park Service adopted agency-wide regulations to give Park Supervisors discretion to allow E-bikes on existing trails that are open to other bikes. However, almost all MTB trails on USFS lands are closed to e-bikes. Individual BLM offices are using their own discretion to allow them on MTB trails.
This hodgepodge of policies is no way to manage access to our public lands. Your participation in this sweepstakes helps fuel BlueRibbon Coalition’s legal and advocacy campaigns to open more public land to e-bike access.
