Where to ride in El Paso County

Start with the city, which is the City of Colorado Springs and manages urban and regional trails inside city limits, including the paved Pikes Peak Greenway along Monument and Fountain creeks. Its rule is narrow: Class 1 eBikes are allowed on designated trails, and Class 2 and Class 3 are prohibited on city trails. The city keeps an interactive map of eligible trails, so check it before you ride a segment you do not know. The rules and map are on the City of Colorado Springs eBike page. If you own a throttle eBike, this matters most.

El Paso County Parks manages the primary and secondary regional trails outside the city. Here the rule is looser. Class 1 and Class 2 eBikes are allowed, with a 20 mph limit, and Class 3 is prohibited. The New Santa Fe Regional Trail (gravel, heading north toward the Palmer Lake area and USAFA) and the Fountain Creek Regional Trail (heading south to Fountain) are county trails. Pikes Peak Outdoors summarizes the county position on its El Paso County eBiking page.

The two rule sets meet on the same corridors. The Colorado Front Range Trail passes through the county as three pieces: the New Santa Fe Regional Trail (county), the Pikes Peak Greenway (city) and the Fountain Creek Regional Trail (county). The sources say city and county rules differ by segment. A Class 2 eBike that is fine on a county segment may be off limits a few miles later on a city one. Ask which agency manages your segment before you leave, and ask the shop when you buy or rent.

State law sits under both. Colorado lets local authorities allow or prohibit eBikes on bike or pedestrian paths, which is why the city and county differ. Class 3 riders must be 16 or older, and Class 3 operators and passengers under 18 need a helmet. You can read the statute at C.R.S. 42-4-1412. For state park trails, see the Colorado Parks and Wildlife biking page, which allows Class 1 and 2 on non-motorized biking trails in state parks.

eBike rules in Colorado

Colorado defines an electrical assisted bicycle in C.R.S. 42-1-102 as a two or three wheeled bike with fully operable pedals and an electric motor not over 750 watts. There are three classes. Class 1 gives assist only while you pedal and stops assisting at 20 mph. Class 2 can assist without pedaling and also stops at 20 mph. Class 3 assists only while you pedal and stops at 28 mph. A bike that has been modified out of every class, or that is built or sold to be easily configured past the class limits, does not count as an e-bike.

Under C.R.S. 42-4-1412, e-bike riders have the same rights and duties as drivers, subject to local ordinances. Class 1 and 2 e-bikes may use a bike or pedestrian path where bicycles are authorized. A local authority may prohibit them there. Class 3 e-bikes are not allowed on those paths unless the path is within a street or highway or the local authority permits it. Riders under 16 may not ride Class 3, though they can be passengers on a bike designed for passengers. HB25-1197 was signed May 28, 2025 and took effect Aug 6, 2025. It adds seller disclosures and multiple mode e-bike rules. From Jan 1, 2027, multiple-mode labels must show the highest class or each class.

Colorado has no statewide helmet rule for Class 1 or 2 riders. Class 3 operators and passengers under 18 must wear a CPSC or ASTM bicycle helmet with a chin strap. Compliant e-bikes need no license or registration. Labels must show class, top assisted speed and wattage, and must be updated after any modification (C.R.S. 42-4-221). Under HB25-1197, falsely labeling a non-e-bike as an e-bike is a deceptive trade practice. For more detail, see our guide to Colorado eBike laws.
