E-bikes are a fun and efficient way for kids and teens to get around, but they also come with new safety challenges.
At CHOC, we’re committed to helping families stay safe through education, advocacy and community partnerships that prevent childhood injuries before they happen.
As the lead agency for Safe Kids Orange County, California, CHOC works with local hospitals, schools, and first responders to address top causes of injury — from car crashes and drownings to falls and bicycle incidents.
This Injury Prevention Day, we’re reminding families to take these simple steps for e-bike safety:
• Always wear a properly fitted helmet
• Follow local traffic laws and ride in designated bike lanes
• Make sure e-bikes are the right size and speed for your child’s age and experience
• Stay visible with lights and bright clothing
Together, we can make every ride a safe one.
