"Orange County Dist. Atty. Todd Spitzer has vowed to prosecute parents who allow their children to ride e-motorcycles, or modify e-bikes to function as such, calling the devices a 'loaded weapon.'"
"An American hero who survived flying combat missions in Vietnam could not survive walking across the street in Lake Forest because of a 14-year-old child who was allowed to ride an E-Motorcycle that he should have never been riding."
An 81-year-old man, Ed Ashman, died after being struck by a 14-year-old boy riding an electric motorcycle. The boy's mother, Tommi Jo Mejer, faces multiple charges, including involuntary manslaughter after Ashman's death. Mejer had previously been warned about the legal implications of allowing her son to ride the motorcycle, which requires a license and age restrictions. Prosecutors emphasize the dangers of such devices, labeling them as 'loaded weapons.' Mejer is the third parent charged this year for similar offenses regarding e-motorcycle use by minors.
