Know Your Ride: E-Bike, Low Power Scooter, or E-Motorcycle?

Four kids in helmets stand with e-bikes underneath a fall tree

Not all e-bikes are the same, and not all are legal for riders under 16. Understanding your bike’s specifications is key to knowing who can ride it and where. Since it’s not always easy to tell, check the manufacturer’s specifications before you ride.

Visit SuperiorColorado.gov/ebikes to learn more.


Holiday lighting to be reduced this season

The Town has traditionally offered a Holiday Lighting display at various locations throughout the Town.

This coming holiday season, the Town will reduce display locations to focus on Town facilities and properties, and commercial centers. This will eliminate roughly eight locations in the Rock Creek neighborhood, Sagamore neighborhood, and Original Town.

Neighborhoods may install lighting displays of their own or choose to sponsor the cost of displays in their neighborhood by partnering with the Town.
