RIDE RIGHT, WINDSOR! As electric transportation continues to grow in popularity, understanding which devices are allowed and where is key to keeping our roads, trails, and sidewalks safe and accessible for everyone. In Windsor, Class 1 e-bikes (under 750W, 20 MPH max, pedal assist only) and Class 2 e-bikes (under 750W, 20 MPH max, pedal assist and can have throttle control) are allowed on trails, sidewalks, or town streets. Class 3 e-bikes (under 750W, 28 MPH max, pedal assist) cannot be operated on trails or sidewalks and must be operated on the roadway. To operate a Class 3 e-bike you must be at least 16 years old, and any operators or passengers under 18 years old must wear a helmet. Electric scooters (under 100lbs, max 20 mph, and have handlebars) are allowed on trails, sidewalks and the roadway but must
follow the same laws as bicycles and Class 1 & 2 e – bikes. Class A Low-Speed Electric Vehicles (LSEV) are legal on Windsor streets, provided they meet safety requirements that allow them to be legally operated on the street and registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles. LSEV’s are prohibited from roads with a speed limit greater than 35 MPH, sidewalks, trails, parks, and the following roads regardless of the speed limit: 7th St, HWY 392 (Main St.) HWY 257, Eastman Park Dr., and Colorado Blvd. Golf carts are limited to designated neighborhoods and are not permitted on sidewalks, tails, or in Windsor parks. Golf Carts are allowed to operate on designated paths that are properly signed that indicate their allowance. Drivers of both must have a valid driver’s license and follow all traffic laws. LSEV
operators and passengers must abide by the same seat belt and child safety seat requirements as they would in a motor vehicle. Motorized vehicles such as dirt bikes (gas or electric), ATVs and other OHVs are not allowed on public roads, Windsor trails, in Windsor parks, or on sidewalks and may only be used off-road on private property with expressed permission from the property owner. Toy vehicles are also prohibited in all public spaces, as they are not manufactured for legal onroad or trail use. Whatever you're riding, stay alert, yield to pedestrians, and follow the rules.
