Electric bicycle classes, age, helmets, and paths
Colorado defines three e-bike classes. Class 3 requires a speedometer; operators under 16 may not operate Class 3, and riders under 18 on Class 3 must wear a helmet. Class 1 and 2 may use bicycle paths unless prohibited; Class 3 use is limited to paths adjacent to a street/highway or locally permitted paths. Local governments may restrict e-bikes on paths.
