Officials are pumping the brakes on expanding electric bike access to Colorado Springs parks. A pilot program was to start Monday — a yearlong study allowing the increasingly popular technology on all city-managed trails where other bikes are allowed. On Thursday, though, the city announced the program would be postponed "until further notice." Kurt Schroeder, the city's park operations and development manager, said the holdup is due to legal questions. E-bikes are equipped with electric motors that provide pedal-assisted boosts. In response to the initial outcry over those motors infringing on city codes related to non-motorized trails, parks department officials pointed to federal and state definitions of e-bikes as bikes, not as motorized vehicles.
