E-Bike Scandal in Colorado | Denver News

A Colorado e-bike program turned into a mess as discounts vanished, customers were asked to prove they weren’t scammers, and bikes mysteriously vanished—leaving families waiting months for nothing. The company, now rebranded as Bear Trail Bikes, still pushes deals but now collects sales tax and claims there’s no catch. One dad finally got a bike after nearly a year—but it wasn’t what he ordered, lacked critical safety certification, and came with sketchy chargers and no instructions. State officials are now warning consumers that some bikes may be unsafe, while the company blames slow payments. The state insists safety and compliance are non-negotiable before any tax credits are issued, and an investigation is underway.
