Last evening, the Bethel Park Police Department responded to a very unfortunate, but preventable, accident in the Boxer Heights neighborhood involving a juvenile operating an e-bicycle.

Based on our investigation, the juvenile, along with a friend operating an e-moto, was traveling at a high rate of speed and disregarding traffic laws. As both approached an intersection, they failed to stop at a stop sign. The juvenile on the e-bike entered the intersection and struck the side of a vehicle that had the right-of-way and no stop sign. The juvenile was transported by medics to an area hospital for (thankfully) minor injuries. The vehicle involved sustained significant damage.

Parents need to understand what these devices are capable of and ensure their children are using them responsibly and legally. Operators must be 16 years of age or older if they are riding outside of private property. Not only can parents and guardians be cited for permitting underage children to ride these devices, but they may also be held civilly liable for any damage or injuries caused as a result of reckless or unlawful operation.

Even if they are old enough to ride, operators still must obey traffic control devices, signs, and signals. These are also citable offenses.

Please refer to the chart provided by PennDot for an additional breakdown of the different types of 2 wheeled transportation we are commonly seeing.

REMINDER: Recycling events coming up!
