Where to ride in Summit County

Most visitors ride the Summit County Recpath. It is a 55 mile network of paved pathways open to non-motorized uses. Summit County built and maintains more than 38 miles. Breckenridge, Dillon, Frisco, Silverthorne and Keystone maintain another 17 miles. Elevation runs from 8,777 feet to 10,563 feet, so expect thin air even on flat pavement. The key rule is simple: Class 1 eBikes only, assist stops at 20 mph, and you may not exceed 25 mph. Read the Summit County Recpath rules before you rent.

Three named corridors anchor the system near the I-70 side of the county. Dillon Reservoir Recpath circles the lake area and is managed by the county together with local jurisdictions. Ten Mile Canyon Recpath starts at the Ten Mile Canyon parking at Exit 190 in Frisco, according to TrailLink. Vail Pass Recpath continues over the pass into Eagle County. All three use the same Class 1 only rule on the county's side. The Recpath map handout shows how they connect.

South and west of the lake, the Snake River Recpath, Upper Blue Recpath and Lower Blue Recpath serve the Keystone, Breckenridge and Blue River side of the county. They are managed under the same county Recpath system. That means the same limits apply: Class 1 only, no Class 2, no Class 3, and no unclassified bikes. Trailheads and lengths for these three are not published in the map handout, so use the manager map and posted signs. Breckenridge has the most shop listings, so many riders rent there. See the county eBike policy.

Off the pavement, the rules change. The Forest Service treats all eBikes as motorized vehicles. That keeps them off non-motorized trails, including trails open to regular mountain bikes. Two exceptions matter to riders: Frisco Peninsula Recreation Area allows all classes, and Copper Mountain Resort allows all classes under its permit. At Copper, eBikes are not authorized on the Colorado Trail. Eight of the exceptions are listed in the Dillon Ranger District recreation guide. Ask your shop where its bike class is allowed.

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, and 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.
