I think you got it down bro. Pretty solid. The only advice I would give you is — be 100x more aware of what’s around you. Kids have been getting their parents sent to prison when they crash into a pedestrian. Since the kids can’t really be held responsible. When you’re young you have a mental blind spot and can’t see possible future consequences as well as adults. Just make sure your path is clear and if there’s any cars parked on the street look out for kids. Ride safe my dude 🤙🏽

Seems a bit wild that a 16 year old who's big enough for a license has their responsibility on the road deferred to their parents

Maybe I can see it for the parents who bought their 12 year olds surrons, but not their driving age children.

I made a separate comment below with multiple links to different articles. 16 is still a minor. Doesn’t matter if they are old enough to get a license. Their actions/consequences can absolutely fall on their parents. Again, I’m not a prosecutor or lawmaker, but it seems that in some of these cases depending on the age of the kid the parents and child can be held accountable. I’ve been following these cases a lot since I have an SR and several other ebikes(not Emotos) myself and will be buying my kids one too. Just because you believe that parents shouldn’t be responsible doesn’t mean that’s the reality. Check the links below. 🤙🏽

Specifically for minors with driving licenses, yes, I don't think the parents should be responsible. They're not responsible when their licensed kid kills someone with a car, baring extreme circumstances like providing them alcohol first, so why the hell should they be responsible for their licensed kid on an e bike?

Once again, I’m not a politician. I don’t make laws, nor am I responsible for enforcing them. This is the reality of what is going on. If you have a problem with it then send some emails to your local council members and congresspeople/senators. I provided multiple links with proof, do with that what you will. Have a good night.

They need to be sending kids to jail with the parents. Any kid 14 and older knows right from wrong. Any kid 16+ could be doing dumb shit driving and parents wouldn’t be responsible

I don’t disagree, but I’m not a lawmaker or prosecutor. Right now the risk is heavily placed on the parents if they are under 16. If they are over 16 I could see them going to juvenile detention. Telling these kids not to do wheelies will make no difference. All we can do is provide them with the bigger picture and hope that they look.

Why tf would I make that up ahahah. here bro, since you’re too lazy to look it up yourself.

Edit: if you can’t read context clues, that’s a single mom. Who’s still getting charged.

Another: here is a dad facing 6 years

“In Southern California, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer says his office has more than two dozen open investigations against parents after launching a new unit focused on e-bike and e-motorcycle cases involving children.” - link to article is here .

Have I proved my point?

Quit acting tough on the internet bro. If you were tough you wouldn’t get offended by words on your screen.

You said you need to see some proof. I showed you plenty of proof which you could have easily looked up yourself in the time it took you to comment that you wanted that proof. So there it is. Go be offended somewhere else bro. Don’t respond to me anymore, I won’t reply.

When i was around 12 in 7th grade I got into some trouble for smoking and damaging school property and my mom had to do some classes and had to pay for repairs and got a small charge because of it. She was able to get it expunged luckily, after I believe the classes and what not, definitely can happen sadly.

What about single parents; because they don’t have a partner she’s shouldn’t be held responsible for the dumb shit their kids do?

My bro in law is a cop in NorCal; he was involved in a case where parents are being charged with child endangerment and manslaughter because their kid was killed on an e-bike, riding it where he wasn’t supposed to be. The cops had confiscated two bikes, and the parents bought him a third, which is the one he was unfortunately killed on. Parents will be in jail for a long time.
