Does this one allow class 1 e-bikes? Mag 7 say yes but this description says no. Either way is fine but want to know beforehand. Thx

Really great ride! The climb was pretty easy and the descent was excellent! Good intermediate loop.

Fun ride! Trails have good flow, but are technical enough to keep you from getting bored. Climbing is not too hard.
A good intermediate rider should be able to do this Loop without any trouble.
