Happy to have helped the city with this guide.

Is it an e-bike or an e-motorcycle? With the rise of high-powered electric rides in Broomfield, it can be hard to tell the difference, but the law is very clear. Many popular high-performance electric two-wheeled vehicles sold today do not meet the legal definition of an e-bike.

In Colorado, any vehicle with a motor exceeding 750 watts or a top speed over 28 mph is classified as a moped or motorcycle. This means they are unlawful to use on sidewalks, CCOB trails, pump tracks, open spaces and parks, and require a license and insurance to operate.

Keep young riders safe and paths accessible for everyone. Know before you buy! Visit Broomfield.org/ElectricRideGuide to learn more about what is legal to ride where, road requirements of when a license and insurance is needed and parental responsibility. Safety starts with knowing the rules. Keep Broomfield moving safely!

e-motos ≠ e-bikes

SANTA ANA, Calif. (BRAIN) — A mother has been charged with felony child endangerment after her 14-year-old son riding an e-moto critically injured an 81-year-old Vietnam veteran. It's the latest arrest of a parent in California for allowing access to an e-moto that resulted in a crash.
