E-bikes bring more speed and more risk!
E-bikes can reach speeds of 20 to 30 mph, and emergency departments are seeing more serious injuries among children and teens, including fractures and head trauma linked to e-bike crashes.
Because operating an e-bike safely requires maturity, experience, and quick decision-making, e-bikes are not recommended for children under 16.
If Your Teen Rides an E-bike:
✅Make sure they wear a helmet for every ride
✅Know and obey all traffic rules
✅Know how to control the bike's speed safely
✅Stay alert to cars and pedestrians
✅Ride responsibly & make smart decisions
