Before your child rides an e-bike or e-scooter to school, this one's worth five minutes at the kitchen table.
On August 11, 2026, the Colorado State Patrol put out a back-to-school advisory on e-bikes and e-scooters: know your local rules, understand traffic signs, wear a helmet, and make sure your kid actually knows how to ride safely.
These devices hit serious speeds — but they give a rider none of the protection a car does.
A few minutes of conversation now can keep your family out of an ER waiting room later. And if another driver's mistake leaves your child hurt, know your rights.
Free Case Review — call 303-434-7066. Available 7 days, day or night.
