Give EarlyE-bikes allow more people to ride bikes. They can give folks more flexibility, convenience, and power, allowing them to use their bikes more often. Thanks to e-bike rebate programs in many communities around the state and from the State of Colorado, there are a lot of new – and potential – e-bike riders out there!
Bicycle Colorado is working hard to increase access to e-bikes for more people in Colorado. We advocate for infrastructure and policies that will make our streets and trails safer for riders, new and experienced alike.
With our partners the Denver Streets Partnership, we invite you to our free E-Bike 101 course with everything you need to know before and after you start riding an e-bike. Get familiar with how e-bikes work, how to decide what type of e-bike would work best for your needs, and how to be a confident and happy e-bike rider. We will cover what an electric bicycle is, how to handle your e-bike battery, where you can ride e-bikes in Colorado, and best practices for rider safety and etiquette.

Household motor vehicle trips are one of the biggest sources of transportation emissions in the country. In 2017, about 75% of household motor vehicle trips were just 10 miles or less. For short to medium-length trips like these, e-bikes can be an incredible mobility and emissions solution.
Compared to traditional bikes, e-bikes allow more people to ride further, across harder terrain, with groceries or children, at an older age or with mobility issues, and more. Plus, you’re reducing your carbon footprint!
