## Resource

Colorado’s cracking down on teen e-bike riders with new law HB26-1079, going into effect August 12th. Under 18? Helmets mandatory if your e-bike hits 28 mph. For high-powered e-motorcycles, riders must be 16+, licensed, and the bike must be registered with insurance. Parents now need written consent for minors to get endorsements — a move aimed at stopping kids from unknowingly getting dangerous machines. Violations can lead to warnings or tickets, with local enforcement discretion, and parents could face charges if deemed negligent. The goal? Safer streets, smarter choices, and accountability for everyone behind the throttle. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
