City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks completed a community engagement process that resulted in allowing community members to ride Class 1 and Class 2 electric bikes on certain open space trails. Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes also are allowed on multi-use paved paths within the City of Boulder.
The city encourages community members to visit a web guide to learn more about Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes and where they can ride them on 39 miles of multi-use Open Space and Mountain Parks trails. City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks reminds community members to recreate responsibly when riding e-bikes on city-managed open space trails where e-biking will be allowed:
Know Before You Go: Read information about where e-biking is allowed on city-managed open space trails. While e-bikes are now allowed on specific open space trails, other electric mobility devices – such as e-scooters and e-skateboards – remain prohibited.
Follow All Rules and Regulations: Stay alert for all signs that communicate where e-bikes are allowed or prohibited.
Be Courteous to Other Visitors: Visitors of all identities and abilities deserve respect and courtesy while recreating outdoors.
Share the Trail: Bikers yield to hikers and horses on open space trails. Whether biking or e-biking, be considerate when passing others on a bike. Slow down and communicate before you pass.
Enjoy and Protect the Land: Enjoy your time outdoors! But remember: Open space visitors also have a responsibility to protect land, wildlife, water and plants.
Open Space and Mountain Parks thanks community members for participating in its recently completed e-bike community engagement process, which sought to:
Provide consistent visitor experiences across interconnected trails, such as the Longmont-to-Boulder Regional Trail.
Support broader city climate goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Offer more adaptive management approaches by considering alternatives to selling or transferring city open space to other entities to allow e-bike access.
