Technology like drones and e-bikes are restricted in some areas of the Lake Tahoe Basin.

Drones are prohibited from all Nevada and California state parks.

Wilderness areas are also drone-free zones. Locally this would pertain to Desolation, Mt. Rose and Granite Chief wilderness areas.

The Federal Aviation Administration also has a ban of drones in a five-mile radius from an airport, which includes Lake Tahoe Airport and Truckee-Tahoe Airport.

Drones are permitted on U.S. Forest Service land assuming it does not conflict with the above criteria.

When it comes to e-bikes, the Forest Service allows them on trails where other motorized vehicles are permitted. However, the maximum speed is 20 mph.

The Tahoe Rim Trail and Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park do not allow the electronic bikes.
