## Resource

Summer’s here, and electric motorcycles are taking over Colorado neighborhoods — with young riders cruising, doing wheelies, and raising alarms. Concerns are mounting as hospitals report a surge in serious e-bike injuries, especially among kids not wearing helmets. Experts warn that kids under 12 shouldn’t be on anything faster than 10 mph, but injuries are already popping up in the 10-14 mph range. Meanwhile, police in Colorado Springs say electric dirt bikes are illegal on public roads — no pedals, no go. A proposed law holding parents liable for underage riders didn’t pass, but officials are still tracking the rising injury numbers.
