E-bike safety starts before the wheels start turning. 🚲

If your child or teen is interested in riding an e-bike, take some time to talk about speed, traffic rules, proper helmet use and the importance of staying alert while riding.

The American Academy of Pediatrics also recommends that parents consider a child's age, maturity and riding skills before allowing them to ride an e-bike.
