Two teenagers were reported for riding unlicensed after they were caught riding e-bikes at Seaford last night.

Police received numerous calls from the public reporting kids riding electric bikes on the roadway and in front of cars in the Seaford area around 7pm on Sunday 8 February.

PolAir was overhead and located the group on Grand Boulevard, Seaford.  They were tracked to a home address and visited by Road Policing South officers.

Two 13-year-old boys were reported for riding unlicensed and one for riding in a manner dangerous to the public after PolAir detected him riding at speeds of up to 80 km/h on the wrong side of the road.

His bike was impounded for 28 days.

Staying safe on the road is important for all road users. With the increased popularity and use of e-bikes, it is important to know what is legal and prioritise using them responsibly.
