E-bikes made their way into Breckenridge and Silverthorne meeting discussions last week. Here\u2019s what to know.<\/a><\/p>\n Both Breckenridge and Silverthorne officials reviewed and discussed electric bike, or e-bike, regulations at their meetings last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n Breckenridge considered updating its policy for recreation disability accommodations by including the use of Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes on certain non-motorized natural surface trails while Silverthorne showed support for Summit County Mountain Bike Alliance\u2019s initiative to change electric bike regulations across the county.\u00a0<\/p>\n Officials from both towns expressed a want to increase access to recreation as they fielded proposals to change regulation or support efforts that would change regulations.\u00a0<\/p>\n Class 1 e-bikes use a pedal-assist technology, and advocates said they can allow those with limited mobility who may be aging or living with a disability to bike.

Each study examined common complaints about e-bikes, with focuses on the environment, the trails and trail user\u2019s experience and safety.<\/p>\n \u2014 Kit Geary<\/p>\n 5.
