Ebike Destination Tour 2022: Oakridge, Oregon

Are you wondering where you can legally ride your eMTB? We’re setting out on a multi-stop series to share eMTB-friendly destinations and trails to ride. This episode takes us to the sleepy town of Oakridge, Oregon. While the town and amenities may be a bit behind the curve, their acceptance of eBikes on the countless trails surrounding town are forward-thinking and why they’re viewed by many as the MTB capital of Oregon.
We’d like to thank Canyon Bicycles for making our 2022 eMTB Destination Tour series happen and allowing us to help share eBike friendly locations to our readers. After having traveled long distances only to arrive and find out that eBikes are not welcome, we wanted to do what we could to prevent others from similar frustrations.
If you’d like to see us visit and share more places, please leave a comment or suggestion so we can keep this series going!
Check out Trans Cascadia if you are looking for shuttles:

Thanks to Canyon for the Spectral:ON eMTBs to use on our trips.

Game changer on an ebike for Alpine trail!
@jamesinsteamboat Жыл бұрын
Yep, I climbed up the logging road from town to do Alpine on my e-bike this summer. Leaving the 6,000-lb truck in town is the greener shuttle option as well

Thanks for this one! I rode the Cascade Cream Puff in ‘97, ‘98 & ‘99. Loved Oakridge back then and still love it. It is the reason we moved from Florida to Oregon. Now I’m old and I just need an ebike to relive those trails!

How are the trails now? Are they open with the fire close by? Want to come down and ride in the next month or so.

I live in oakridge, it’s such a good place but fires can get pretty bad in the summer. Still a great place for all kinds of bikers alike! I just got a new mountain bike so I’m gonna fix up the front tire, then ride on the trails! We also have a small group for kids to ride/race bikes called nica. Great team, I’m going to join it and my 6th grade teacher leads it! Although I’m in 8th, still love all of oakridge!

Glad to see you guys showcasing e-mtb friendly destinations! I get tired of all the No E-bike signs around Moab, Sedona, Bend, and my hometown of Steamboat. Brought my e-mtb and two acoustics/banjos on a road trip to Oregon in July and loved it. Post Canyon in Hood River is also e-bike friendly

Hey guys, really enjoyed the vid and have a loaded question for you. I'm looking to get my first e bike, and just curious which Motor platform do you recommend. I tried a budies levo and it felt ok. But just curious which system you enjoy most. Thanks for any advice
@TheLoamWolf Жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching. We’d probably say from a motor standpoint, Bosch.

@@TheLoamWolf thanks guys. Really appreciate it
@TheLoamWolf Жыл бұрын
That being said… the motor isn’t the whole picture! Haha. We’d rather have some Shimano bikes than Bosch bikes based on suspension/geo and the “mountain bike” performance.

@@TheLoamWolf , I totally get that, I looked at several specs and watched your 2022 ebike shootout (specifically for a trail bikes) unfortunately specialized is a little pricey. I live in Monterey CA, Is there a bike you guys didn't have during the test but still have high praise for? Like the Trace E or even the new trek EX E for example that you recommend? Thanks again for the feed back

It's super feasible, it just might take 45 to an hour to pedal the fire road to the top. Hard saying how much juice it'll suck down though.

It's news to me that ebikes are welcome on the Oakridge trails, but also confusing. How does the Willamette NF decide which trails are ok for ebikes and which are not, and what's the logic? For example, Waldo's not, Middle Fork's not. Is there a comprehensive list of ebike friendly trails in the Willamette NF? I thought the Forest Circus tended *not* to allow ebikes at all!
@TheLoamWolf Жыл бұрын
It is dependent on districts and Oakridge has plenty of moto-legal trails which is why the eBike access is allowed from our understanding... We'd suggest reaching out to your local district office for confirmation on access.

My god man it's a flag... I don't choose my mtb destinations by if they decide to put a flag on it.. If it matters that much to you bring your own damn flag. You can put it on your bike, and wear red white and blue riding gear all you want. Then everyone will know how American you are...
@quitemountainous2528 Жыл бұрын
Coming from Europe is is staggering the amount of flags you see in North America... my guess is if your country has has only 200 years of history, this is one of the things you need to wave, to show/strengthen your presence, we in Europe do not have actual history, so so not do that, it is considered cringe.

Dude, chill. It’s a flag, we were hosting a lgbtq+ bike event and sorta thought it looked good so it stayed up. You wanna put a different flag up on your stuff, go for it.

If you were Martínez, would you put CR7 in Portugal’s main lineup in Euro or keep him on the bench?🤔
