STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — City leaders are considering allowing e-bikes on the Yampa River Core Trail, the city’s busiest commuter trail, as a pilot project this summer.
The proposal for the pilot program on the Core Trail comes after the opening of an electric-bicycle store in town and a request from a person with a disability who wants to be able to use an e-bike on the city’s commuter trail.
If the proposal moves forward, the city is seeking input about whether to adopt a speed limit for the Core Trail that would apply to all cyclists.
Local officials are also wondering whether e-bikes should be allowed on the entire Core Trail and whether other etiquette rules should be considered. Current rules prohibit any type of motorized vehicle on the trail.
