E-motorcycles, high-speed E-bikes and E-scooters continue to be a growing safety concern in the township.
"They may look like fun recreational devices, but many can reach motorcycle-level speeds (50 mph) and are extremely dangerous when operated by juveniles on busy roads," Police Chief Patrick Gurcsik warned in a social media post following a serious motor-vehicle crash involving an E-motorcycle.
He urged parents to consider the risks and reconsider purchasing the electric vehicles for their kids as the holidays approach.
"Exciting as they may seem, the dangers are very real," Gurcsik said, noting the state is finalizing new guidance and updated laws are expected in the new year.
"Let's prevent a tragedy," he urged.
