Where to ride in Larimer County
The Poudre Trail is the longest paved trail on the Fort Collins list at 12.3 miles. The City of Fort Collins manages it. Class 1 and 2 eBikes are allowed on paved trails there, and the city asks riders to keep to a courtesy speed of 15 mph. Class 3 eBikes are not allowed on paved trails. Paved trails are open 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. See the Fort Collins paved trails page for the current list.
Fossil Creek and Spring Creek are two more city-managed paved trails. Fossil Creek is 8.5 miles, running from Spring Canyon Community Park to Fossil Creek Community Park. It connects to the Front Range Trail at Carpenter and Lemay, which leads toward Boyd Lake State Park and Loveland. Spring Creek is 6.6 miles. The same rule applies to both: Class 1 and 2 are fine, Class 3 is not. Check the City of Fort Collins trail page.
The Power Trail (4 miles) and Mason Trail (4.6 miles) suit shorter errands and shop visits. The Mason Trail runs from Laurel Street to Fossil Creek along the BNSF line, west of College Avenue. The Power Trail follows the Union Pacific railroad from EPIC to Golden Meadows, then Keenland-Trilby. Both are city paved trails with the same eBike rule. Class 3 riders can use streets and bike lanes instead, per the City of Fort Collins electric mobility page.
Larimer County Natural Resources manages its own trails, and its rules differ from the city's. Its e-bike study page says Class 1 and 2 are allowed on paved county trails. It also says eBikes are prohibited on natural-surface county trails, with an exception for people with mobility disabilities. The county page did not load fully when we checked, so confirm details on the Larimer County e-bike study page before you ride.
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.
