Class I electric bicycles will now be permitted on the Mickelson Trail, joining the existing exceptions for snowmobiles, government employees, rescue personnel, and self-propelled wheelchairs. The bill adds a new exception to South Dakota's current ban on motorized vehicles in the trail's right-of-way, defining Class I electric bikes according to state law standards. Violating the trail rules remains a Class 2 misdemeanor offense.
