Thinking about getting your child an e-bike or e-scooter? Before they hit the road, make sure they're ready. 🛵 🛴 As e-bike and e-scooter injuries continue to increase, it's important for parents to understand that riding a motorized vehicle requires different skills and awareness than riding a traditional bike. “Parents should not assume that a child who can ride a traditional bike has the skills and knowledge needed to safely operate an e-bike or e-scooter,” said Heather Trnka, injury prevention manager at Akron Children’s. Find expert guidance and safety tips at the link in our bio. 🔗 #EBike #EScooter #BikeSafety Blue graphic with white text saying, "E-bike Crashes: What to Know."
