A Message to Parents: E-Bike Safety in Millis 🚲⚠️
The Millis Police Department needs your partnership in keeping our community safe. With the surge of e-bikes around town, we are seeing increasing numbers of unsafe behaviors that put riders, pedestrians, and drivers at risk.
An e-bike is not a toy. Many reach speeds over 20 mph, and crashes can result in severe injuries. Parents, please take a moment to discuss safe riding with your kids and establish clear expectations.
How you can help:
🪖Helmets First: Ensure your child always wears a properly fitted helmet.
🚦Obey Traffic Laws: Remind them that e-bikes must follow all road signs, signals, and rules.
🛑No Reckless Riding: Ban speeding, weaving, riding against traffic, wheelies, carrying passengers, and using phones/headphones.
📏Right Fit & Limits: Ensure the bike matches your child’s age/experience, and set clear boundaries on where they can ride.
Our goal isn’t to hand out citations, it’s to prevent injuries before they happen. Officers will be conducting enforcement for unsafe behavior, but safety starts at home.
Thank you for working with us to keep Millis safe for everyone! 🙏
