eBikes are allowed on most USFS roads including Knickerbocker Road 2N08. I was on 2N08 today and there are no "ebikes not allowed signs" See excerpt from USFS below. Please correct the ebike allowed (NO) in this trail description to (YES)

This is an awesome trail. Exposed at times but ridable for sure. Great condition and a lot of fun to ride. Do ride with caution and pay attention. Have fun!

Trail Skyline Trail
One of the most incredible trails in big bear, it’s like a roller coaster. The turns are so sweet and well made. Incredible flow, premium traction in the super dry conditions.

Trail Seven Oaks
This trail starts mellow and quickly gets SPORTY. Expect steep and expect LOOSE. In some spots the trail is narrowest possible bench cut into the side of the slope. It's best ridden downhill and I don't think even the strongest riders could power up this trail the whole way due to the incredible loose, sandy conditions in big sections. Fun coming down!

Trail is clear of trees and rideable. Certain gnarled trees like to grab handlebars and send you OTB over the cliff, exercise extreme caution.

Trail Treat (Skyline)
Best ridden west to east IMO to avoid some tough climbs from the east trailhead at 2N10/17. Nice flow, hard pack, fun trail.

Trail Bobcat (Skyline)
Great XC trail ridden in either direction. A few fun rock sections. East end connects through Boulder Camp road. A fun, well-maintained piece of classic Big Bear single-track riding with some peek lake views.

Trail Skyline Trail
Elevation and full route are a bit off here. See MTB Proj. I did the full Skyline, which is 15 miles one-way and somewhere around 1,750'. The out-and-back from the Club View Drive lower trailhead totaled 30.2 miles, including the tiny Grand View Overlook spur. Total elevation gain was 3,652'.
