Virginia Beach, York-Poquoson among localities tackling electric dirt bike issues
Last week, the York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office shared a video on social media highlighting issues deputies have encountered involving the vehicles. “These bikes are capable of high speeds but provide little protection in the event of a crash with a passenger vehicle,” Sheriff Ron Montgomery said in a video posted to Facebook. “The York-Poquoson Sheriff’s Office has received numerous complaints, including reckless riding, juveniles weaving through traffic, ignoring traffic signals, doing wheelies, and operating on highways and heavily traveled roadways.”
The sheriff’s office said the main difference between electric bicycles and electric dirt bikes comes down to pedals and where the vehicles can legally operate. Sheriff Montgomery is encouraging parents to speak with their children about the dangers of riding vehicles on public roads. “Let’s work together to educate our young adults on the safe and lawful operation of these bikes,” Montgomery said.
