Safety Considerations You Need to Know Before or After Buying an E-Bike
The PVE Neighborhood Watch is pleased to coordinate an e-bike safety session for residents of PVE. We are working with the PVE PD and community leaders to provide educational information and a Q&A session.
We have 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 to be covered:
