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.
