## Resource

A 15-year-old got caught riding a high-powered electric bike—and it’s sparking serious safety concerns. Law enforcement says these fast bikes are dangerous, especially when teens are behind the wheel without licenses. One teen nearly hit a pedestrian while fleeing police, then got arrested trying to outrun them. Washington State law requires riders to be 16, licensed, and have a motorcycle permit. New rules now tighten how electric bikes are classified, making it clearer when they become legal motorcycles. Parents: if your kid’s riding one, make sure they’re legally cleared to do so—safety over speed. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
