Best Class 2 E-Bike Trails in South Denver: Highlands Ranch, Littleton, and Beyond

Introduction

Electric bikes are changing the way we experience Colorado’s trails—and if you’re riding a Class 2 e-bike, you’ve got throttle assist + pedal assist up to 20 mph, making more terrain accessible with less effort. Colorado law recognizes Class 1 and Class 2 bikes as bicycles with similar access rights. Colorado General Assembly+2Colorado Parks and Wildlife+2
If you’re in the South Denver region (Highlands Ranch, Littleton and beyond), here are some of the best trails suited for Class 2 e-bikes, along with helpful tips to ride legally and responsibly.
