E-bikes and scooters can reach speeds up to 28 mph — fast enough to cause serious injury.
Before allowing your child to ride, make sure they understand the rules and can safely control the device.
Parent Tips:
- Check that the bike or scooter fits your child and the brakes work.
- Review where they’re allowed to ride.
- Make helmets a habit.
- Encourage bright or reflective clothing for visibility.
- Talk about staying alert — no headphones or phones while riding.
- Remind them that roads are shared spaces, not playgrounds.
Parents may be held responsible for property damage caused by minors riding carelessly or unlawfully.
