Our hearts go out to the family and loved ones of the Vietnam veteran who lost his life in this tragic accident. Any time a life is lost, especially in such a preventable way, it is heartbreaking.
Stories like this are difficult to see, but they are also an important reminder for parents and families.
Before buying an e-bike, e-scooter, golf cart, ATV, or e-motorcycle for a child, it’s important to understand more than just the cost or convenience.
You should know:
Can they legally ride it?
Where are they allowed to use it?
Does it require a license, registration, or safety equipment?
Could your insurance respond if someone is injured or property is damaged?
These vehicles may look simple, but some can create very serious risks.
Every policy is different, and coverage can depend on the vehicle type, speed, location of use, age of the rider, and policy language.
Before purchasing one, call your independent insurance agent and review the risk first.
From our family to yours, please stay safe and take the extra time to ask questions before something happens.
