MONCTON ELECTRIC BIKE GUIDE

Welcome to New Brunswick Bikes, your trusted local Eunorau expert for the Greater Moncton Area! Moncton’s landscape is known for its extensive network of rail trails, riverside paths, and exciting mountain bike parks in the Tri-City region (Moncton, Dieppe, Riverview).

E-bikes are perfectly suited here, giving you the range to connect the city parks and the power to explore the technical singletrack in Dieppe and Hillsborough.

Part 1: Top E-Bike Trails in Greater Moncton, NB

Moncton’s terrain is ideal for both the casual rider and the serious mountain biker.

The Urban & Commuter Network

1. The Riverfront Trail (Petitcodiac River): This is the backbone of the city's active transportation network, offering mostly flat, paved, or well-groomed paths along the Petitcodiac River. It's perfect for effortless commuting and checking out the famous Tidal Bore. The path connects Moncton, Riverview, and Dieppe.
2. Recommended E-Bike: A comfort commuter like the Eunorau META 275 Step-Thru is ideal for this path, providing excellent range and a smooth, torque-sensing assist.
3. Humphrey Brook Trail & Mapleton Park: These areas offer fantastic multi-use paths and interconnected routes within the city, providing a quick escape to nature for casual riding.

The Off-Road Mountain Bike Challenges

1. Dieppe Rotary Park: Known for being the most accessible mountain bike network near the city centre. It offers a variety of trails, including some technical singletrack with roots and tight turns. An e-MTB allows you to explore the park's entire network multiple times.
   
2. White Rock Recreation Area (Hillsborough): Located southwest of Moncton, this is the region's premier destination for challenging mountain biking. The trails here—including steep climbs and rocky descents—demand a bike with serious torque and full suspension.
   
3. Recommended E-Bike: The Eunorau SPECTER-S 3.0 (with its 1000W BAFANG Mid-Drive) or the Eunorau DEFENDER-S (Full-Suspension Dual Motor AWD) are essential for conquering the climbs and handling the rugged terrain at White Rock.

Part 2: Top Eunorau E-Bikes for Moncton Living

The best bike for you depends on whether you plan to commute on the Riverfront Trail or shred the Dieppe trails.

The Trail Conqueror

Eunorau SPECTER-S 3.0: The most powerful, torquey option. Its mid-drive motor utilizes the bike's gears to provide unparalleled efficiency and climbing power, perfect for the steep hills at White Rock. Full suspension is a must for the roots and rocks.

Eunorau FAT-AWD Step Over: An excellent choice for year-round Moncton riding. The fat tires and selectable All-Wheel Drive ensure stable commuting during winter snowfalls and exceptional traction on muddy spring trails.

The Commuter and Leisure Rider

Eunorau META Foldable: Ideal for apartment dwellers or those who rely on transit. It offers the smooth, natural feel of a torque sensor in a package that folds for easy storage in a small space or car trunk.

Eunorau Flash: For riders whose commute spans the entire Tri-City area or who enjoy long tours. The Flash is built for exceptional range, capable of accepting multiple batteries to push your assisted distance to the maximum.

Part 3: Long-Distance E-Bike Adventures from Moncton

Moncton sits centrally, making it a perfect hub for multi-day e-bike tours across the province.

1. The Fundy National Park Gateway

• Destination: Alma and Fundy National Park
• Route Highlights: Head southwest towards Fundy National Park. This route features dramatic elevation changes as you approach the Fundy coastline. An e-bike is transformative here, allowing you to enjoy the scenery and tackle the steep climbs that characterize the entrance to the park.
• E-Bike Necessity: A high-power machine with excellent climbing torque, like the SPECTER-S 3.0 or FAT-HD 2.0, is strongly recommended for this strenuous, scenic journey.

2. Acadian Peninsula Veloroute Link

• Destination: Shediac, Cap-Pelé, and the Acadian Coast
• Route Highlights: Head east towards the coast via Humphrey Brook Trail and connecting routes to Shediac. From there, you can connect to the extensive 600+ km Acadian Peninsula Veloroute. This route follows mostly flat, former rail beds and paved paths.
• E-Bike Necessity: This is a perfect long-range route. A comfortable bike with strong battery life, such as the Eunorau Flash, allows you to cover large distances quickly and comfortably.

Part 4: New Brunswick E-Bike Laws and Safety

At New Brunswick Bikes, we prioritize legal compliance. Please be aware of the provincial laws before riding in Moncton, Dieppe, or Riverview.

Key Legal Requirements:

1. Power and Speed Limits: E-bikes (PABs) must have a motor rated 500W or less and cannot travel faster than 32 km/h (20 mph) on motor power alone.
   
2. Helmets are Mandatory: All e-bike riders, regardless of age, must wear an approved helmet at all times while cycling on NB roads.
   
3. Technical Requirements: E-bikes must have fully operable pedals, wheel rims larger than 22 cm, and a seat at least 68 cm off the ground.
   
4. Modification is Illegal: It is illegal to modify the motor to exceed the 500W power or 32 km/h speed limit. Eunorau models exceeding 500W must be programmed to adhere to these limits for legal operation on public roads and most trails.

Local Riding Notes:

Trail Access: While generally permitted on Moncton's multi-use paths (like the Riverfront Trail), some advanced singletrack areas (especially those maintained by local MTB associations) may prohibit motorized vehicles, including e-bikes. Always check local signs, particularly in parks like Dieppe Rotary.
