City of Pueblo Excerpt Governing Electrical Assistance for Human-powered Vehicles
(d)
It is lawful for electrical assisted bicycles, electrical assisted scooters, segways, or other human powered vehicles to be driven or operated in any City-owned park or recreation area or upon any area designated or posted as part of the river trail or bike path system in accordance with the City Code Section 10-1-13(a)(3).
(e)
It is unlawful for persons operating electrical assisted bicycles, electrical assisted scooters, segways, or other human powered vehicles to exceed twenty (20) miles per hour or any posted speed limits in any City-owned park or recreation area or upon any area designated or posted as part of the river trail or bike path system.
(f)
It shall be unlawful for any Class 3 electrical assisted bicycle, as defined by the 2020 Model Traffic Code incorporated by City Code Section 15-1-1, to be driven or operated in any City-owned park or recreation area or upon any area designated or posted as part of river trail or bike path system within the City unless the operator has first obtained a permit for operation from the Director. For the avoidance of doubt, a “Class 3 electrical assisted bicycle” means an electrical assisted bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and that ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches a speed of twenty-eight (28) miles per hour.
