E-Bike or E-Moto? Know the Difference
Higher-powered electric vehicles are legally classed as motor vehicles and must follow different laws than e-bikes.
Electric dirt bikes and electric motorcycles (e-motos) are becoming more common in the Denver metro area, including Cherry Hills Village, but many residents don’t realize higher-powered electric vehicles are legally considered motor vehicles. The City of Cherry Hills Village and the Cherry Hills Village Police Department say e-bikes and e-motos are not the same, urge people to learn where each may legally operate, and direct residents to the Cherry Hills Village E-Moto Web Page for rules and safety information to help keep roads, trails, parks and shared spaces safe.
