(Beaver County, PA) Chief Michael Priolo of the Beaver Valley Regional Police Department released a statement this week announcing increased enforcement of laws related to electric scooters and e-bikes following a recent rise in accidents and injuries.
According to the department, electric scooters are not permitted on public roadways in Pennsylvania. E-bikes, meanwhile, must meet specific legal requirements to be operated on public roads.
Police officials also encouraged parents to familiarize themselves with state laws, noting that they may be held responsible for violations committed by minors.
The department said its goal is to promote safety, educate the public and prevent injuries throughout the community.
