Co-owner Dan Johnson shared our story with FOX31’s Nicole Fierro, highlighting how these delays strain our small business, even as we keep the community rolling. Read on to see how we’re adapting, and how you can help!

E-Bikes on Colorado Springs Trails

Colorado Springs has narrowly approved a policy allowing Class 1 and 2 e-bikes on certain trails, sparking debate about defining them as 'non-motorized.'

 This decision highlights the push for increased accessibility and inclusivity for riders of varying abilities. CyclErie applauds this move and hopes Boulder Mountain Parks and Open Space will follow suit, advocating for responsible e-bike access on local trails. The article, based on reporting from the Gazette, emphasizes the need for a balanced approach that prioritizes safety and sustainability, while acknowledging the growing popularity and benefits of e-bikes.

Commonly Asked eBike Questions

Thinking about joining the eBike revolution? We get it! They're fun, efficient, and a great way to get around. But you probably have some questions. We've compiled answers to some of the most common ones we hear at CyclErie.

How Fast Can an eBike Go?

eBikes in Colorado can reach speeds of up to 28 mph with electric assist, depending on the class.1 It's crucial to understand the different classes and regulations:

  • Class 1: Pedal assist only, max 20 mph.2
  • Class 2: Pedal assist and throttle, max 20 mph.
  • Class 3: Pedal assist only, max 28 mph.

Several factors influence your speed, including motor power, terrain, and your own pedaling effort.3 Remember, safety comes first! Always wear a helmet and follow local traffic laws.

Do I Need a Permit or License in Colorado?

Good news! You generally don't need a permit or license to ride an eBike in Colorado. However, there are regulations. Colorado classifies eBikes into three classes, and there are age restrictions for Class 3 eBikes (you must be 16 or older). Helmet laws apply to those under 18 riding a Class 3 eBike.4 Where you can ride depends on the class of your eBike, so it's always wise to check local ordinances. For more detailed information, check out resources like the Colorado General Assembly website or your local city or county pages (links provided in the full blog post).

Why Buy from a Local Bike Shop Like CyclErie?

You might be tempted by the lower prices of direct-to-consumer eBike brands. However, buying from a local shop like CyclErie offers significant advantages. Our expert staff provides personalized service, helping you find the perfect eBike for your needs. We offer test rides and ensure proper fit, something you can't get online. Plus, we handle maintenance, repairs, and warranty support. And don't forget the Colorado eBike tax credit—you can take advantage of the $450 point-of-sale discount only at participating local retailers! Supporting local businesses also strengthens our community.

Do I Need Insurance for My eBike?

While Colorado doesn't require liability insurance for eBikes, it's definitely something to consider. Accidents happen, and you could be held liable for damages or injuries. Insurance can also protect you against theft and damage to your valuable eBike. Check with your homeowners or renters insurance provider, or look into specialized eBike insurance policies.
