New E-bike Rules for Colorado Springs starting July 2025
Effective July 1, 2025, the City of Colorado Springs will implement a phased rollout of Class 1 e-bikes on select urban, regional, and open space trails. Following an ordinance adopted by City Council, Class 1 e-bikes, which require pedaling for battery assistance up to 20 mph, will be classified as non-motorized use. Educational opportunities and enforcement measures will be established, including signage at trailheads to inform users about eligible areas for Class 1 e-bikes. A detailed map of urban and regional trails will also be available on the City Parks page prior to July 1.
