Episode Details

Eagle residents and police teamed up for an eye-opening E-Bike 101 safety session, led by a retired police cyclist with 20+ years of experience. The focus? Reckless riding on electric bikes and motorbikes. Key takeaways: legal e-bikes max out at 750 watts and 20-28 mph depending on class—anything faster or higher wattage is an unregistered motor vehicle requiring insurance. High-speed, modified electric motorbikes—often ridden by teens—can hit 50+ mph and pose deadly risks, as seen in a tragic fatality that led to criminal charges against the rider’s parent. The session also warned about lithium-ion battery fire hazards from improper charging/storage. Law enforcement made it clear: reckless riding won’t be tolerated, and safety is the priority. The goal? Educate riders now to protect trails, green spaces, and communities for the future.
