An April 5 e-bike crash in Chino Hills tragically resulted in the death of a 14-year-old boy, underscoring growing concerns about safety standards for e-bike riders. This incident, along with another near-fatal accident involving a 16-year-old just weeks earlier, has reignited scrutiny and calls for stricter adherence to Vehicle Code laws governing e-bike usage. The boy in the fatal accident was riding a Class 3 e-bike, which requires users to be at least 16 years old and wear helmets if younger than 17. The Sheriff's Department emphasizes the need for greater public safety measures as non-compliance issues persist.
