E-MTB are allowed on most mountain bike trails in Whistler. However, Mount Sproatt and Rainbow Mountain alpine trails (anything above Flank: Lord of the Squirrels, Into the Mystic, With a Twist, On the Rocks, Happy Hour, Pot of Gold, LESS & Don’t Look Back), are two examples where e-bikes aren’t allowed. This restriction supports environmental considerations, user safety and grizzly bear management in the alpine terrain. E-bikes are also not allowed in the Emerald Forest Conservation Area. Although Whistler Bike Park allows e-bikes in the park, we do not permit our rental E-MTB’s in the bike park due to the increased wear and risk of damage to the bikes.
