Where can you ride an e-bike in St. John's?
E-bikes can't ride Metrobus: its racks take only non-motorized bikes and no bikes are allowed inside the bus. The City lists shared-use paths for cycling and the Grand Concourse Authority designates some cycling routes, but the City's Parks By-law still says bicycles are not permitted on the Grand Concourse, and no official page mentions e-bikes. Follow the signs on each path.

City shared-use paths
The City lists shared-use paths for walking, cycling and wheeling (e.g. the T'railway along the Waterford River through Bowring Park, the Crosstown path on Columbus and Prince Philip Drive, Kelly's Brook Trail) and asks users to follow all posted signs. It does not say whether e-bikes count.

What we could not confirm yet
- No City of St. John's, Grand Concourse Authority or Metrobus page states a rule for e-bikes on trails or shared-use paths; ask the City (311) and the Grand Concourse Authority.
- The City's Parks By-Law 1488 (passed 2006) bans bicycles on the Grand Concourse, but the Grand Concourse Authority and the City's own shared-use path list show cycling on the Waterford River T'railway; confirm with the City which rule is enforced.
