  1. I blame the parents way more than the teens. I mean what the hell are you thinking giving such powerful bikes to your kids?! Not only that but other pedestrians can get hurt if the ebike hits them. The parents should be sued like goddamn.

  2. I have a macfox x7 and im 16 and im seeing middle schoolers on ultra bees like wtf and there not even wearing full face js a half shell not even strapped🫩🙏💔

  3. Been hearing more and more of e bike crashes lately. I’m a student and I deliver for Amazon during the holidays and for summer. Kids aren’t in school, I see them mobbing like little biker gangs on those e bikes. I’ve even had them wheelie towards me in my lane and swerve the van when they get close as some sort of stupid stunt to show off for their friends.

  4. There has been a huge increase in cycling deaths since e-bikes have come on the market, the majority of the victims are 11 to 14 years old. When I was a kid, I had a dirt bike, a Kawasaki KX80, which was about as fast as the e-bikes kids are on today. I was not allowed to take my bike out of the garage under pain of death (actually, just a serious beating). The only time I could ride it was at the off-road park, or out in the desert. I am shocked not just to see that kids are riding these e-bikes on city streets and sidewalks, but that there are literally hundreds of them out and about. New Jersey now requires a license, helmet, registration, and insurance on all e-bikes or pedal assist bikes, regardless of the power output.

  5. as someone who used to ride they should be treated as motorcycles and there should be big fines if you don't have a motorcycle license, too many kids dying on these, as hard as it must be, play stupid games win stupid prizes, they need to stick to sidewalks or ride legally and safely

  6. Then same kids be making edits of brake checking people and running from cops thinking it is tuff and cool to do. I am 15yo and i drive normaly a small pocket 50cc bike and 110cc quad wich is enough
