Safety Considerations You Need to Know Before or After Buying an E-Bike
(Zoom event held 12/12/22)
The PVE Neighborhood Watch is pleased to coordinate an e-bike safety session for residents of PVE. This event was held at the end of 2022 via Zoom to help parents to be informed on they should know before or after buying an e-bike or your child or yourself.
Helpful guidance on safety considerations and discussion on the various types of e-bikes was covered. We were proud to have collaborated with the PVE PD and community leaders to provide this educational information and a Q&A session.
Because we had been hearing from a number of residents about safety concerns primarily about youth e-cyclers in our City, we felt it would be helpful to address questions and provide youth, parents and other residents with information about e-bikes. Whether you are thinking about purchasing and e-bike or you have already purchased an e-bike or wonder what are the rules for riding e-bikes in our city, this will be an informative meeting.
There are some unique considerations for e-bikes for both adults and youth and having this awareness is a first step in educating riders and parents of youth riders.
Items covered:
