Parents equipped with e-bike safety guide for holiday shopping

In Irvine, California, on November 27, 2024, a new handbook titled The Caring Parent's e-Bike Survival Guide has been released just before the Black Friday shopping season. Authored by Beth Black, the guide aims to assist parents as they navigate the complexities of purchasing e-bikes, which are becoming increasingly popular as holiday gifts for children. The timing of this release is strategic, targeting an influx of shoppers eager to find deals on e-bikes during the holiday season. This book serves not only as a resource for selecting the appropriate e-bike but also includes behavior management strategies for overseeing teens' riding conduct, promoting safe practices in an era where e-bike usage is on the rise. The guide is the first part of a series intended to offer comprehensive safety education, addressing concerns from various stakeholders affected by e-bike trends in communities. The Bellemont Project, founded by Black, seeks to enhance e-bike safety nationwide through education and practical strategies aimed at reducing reckless riding behavior among teens. Complimentary to traditional holiday shopping resources, this guide is tailored specifically to empower parents with the necessary information to facilitate safe and responsible e-bike ownership. Future editions of the series will focus on additional key stakeholders, including community leaders, educational professionals, retailers, and law enforcement, thereby broadening the conversation around e-bike safety and its implications for public safety and well-being.
