Here’s what law enforcement wants you to know about e-scooter and e-bike safety after a 10-year-old girl was hit by a car in the Spring area.

The young girl ran a stop sign. How is the e-scooter even relevant? She could have blown a stop sign on her bicycle, and had the same fate.
She could have stepped in front of a car as a pedestrian and encountered the same fate.
And why do automobiles get a hall pass in the story? If we are cuting vehicles as dangerous, cars certainly fit.
Your b-roll video shows a variety of legally compliant e-bikes. You constantly use the term e-bike.
But, was your accident with the 13 year old on a legally compliant e-bike, or on one of those illegal e-motorcycles?
Usually, it is the latter. Please stop using the incorrect terminology, and clarify.
The news industry needs to stop vilifying legal e-bikes, and pointing the finger instead at the illegal, 45 mph e-motorcycles that many parents are buying their children.
Yup, really don't need any new regulations, it's a common sense.
You don't buy a elementary or junior high school kids a E-Bike ..
These parents should be charged with Child abuse…..
So instead of punishing the parents and even the kid for their stupid decisions your going to punish us responsible escooter riders this is crazy she ran a stop sign that her fault and moreso her parents fault for giving a child such a device clear words "ran a stop sign" same thing can happen in a car or a regular bike if you run a stop sign also who the hell would give a kid a device that is clearly not meant for kids this is why you stop at a stop sign the scooters themselves are not dangerous the parents are because that's just like giving a 10 year old any dangerous device how do you expect a 10 year old to even know traffic rules you shouldn't give an e scooter to any child who doesn't know how to drive and I'm not saying a drivers license should be required wuch it shouldn't but I'm also saying when it comes to kids they should at least be 16 and have at least driven your adult car with you before giving them such a device as once again how do you expect a 10 year old child to know how or when to stop at a stop sign let alone understand the importance of doing so
one less stupid kid in an eBike endagering everyone riding on the sidewalk
WHY DON'T WE FINALLY MAKE THESE LAST PARENTS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR DUMB CHILDREN… either that or give out free guns to kids under 16 years of age 😅.
The idiot lawmakers keep thinking they can make laws for 20-50 year-olds and that THAT'S going to stop a dumb parent of child from throwing their kid in front of incoming traffic!!! THIS AIN'T NO DIFFERENT THAN THE DUMB GUN LAWS! CRIMINALS AND MURDERERS DON'T CARE ABOUT YO' dumb laws!!! And these kids don't care about your dumb laws Either!!!
She'd still be alive if her parents would have taught her how to read stop and how what it means.😢😢
Start charging parents for child endangerment when their dumbass kid dies and some poor driver has to live with it for the rest of their lives. About as dangerous as giving your kid coke.
Do statics, you idiots 😊
Who could ever have predicted all the problems we are having with each bikes????? Gosh, if only someone had warned us.
If 10 year olds are riding on streets, then they need to start drivers ed apparently to learn the rules of the road. I've seen groups of pre-teens in my neighborhood riding their ebikes down both lanes, not even understanding what the painted lines mean or to signal or anything.
Just as I said before E-bikes don't kill people it's the people driving them that kill themself and when it's a scooter say scooter scooters are not E-bikes.
We obviously need to focus on making our streets safer for kids instead of telling them they need to only be transported by car. Crazy
Parents give kids whatever they want without any thought to danger.
These automobiles simply put, are NOT FIR CHILDREN to operate in traffic or on city streets! Buzzing 28 MPH down a sidewalk does not a pedestrian make.
Around 100-300 adolescents die each year on non electric bikes and hundreds of thousands are hospitalized. Stop with the sensationalism.
I almost lost my life at 12 jumping over a ramp. Tomorrow is never promised. It's not about safety. It's about revenue
Clearly the cars have to much power if they can kill someone from a dead stop in 20ft. Seriously show me what they were doing on an e-sooter or e-bike that is not possible on a regular scooter or bicycle.
How many little boys are killed by cars daily? Will all drivers be collectively punished for it? Why the different standards?
Collective punishment. Punishing everyone for other people's stupid decisions is so wrong.
Just imagine all the lazy kids who never rode a normal pedal bike out there on E bikes now. Gee I wonder what could go wrong. 😂
Teach the rules of the road! Electric or not, cyclists don't think rules apply to them!
So the girl riding the scooter didn't stop at the stop sign and got hit. Instead of blaming her for being reckless or her parents for being irresponsible, they want more restrictions and petty rules that affect those of us who actually ride responsibly. That makes no sense and is a knee-jerk reaction to an imaginary growing threat. If they want more rules and restrictions, target the road ragers and speed-demons in their cars turning our streets and freeways into war zones. That's the real everyday threat.
Wait, I thought the rule of thumb was to always blame the car? The bicycling community never take responsiblity for the cachos they create on the roadways. But I guess it's okay to dump on the kids.
