A 15-year-old youth is recovering from minor injuries after a group of 25 riders on e-scooters, e-bikes and motorbikes drove dangerously through Kerrisdale on Halloween night, Vancouver Police said on November 3.

Several families in Kerrisdale flagged down officers during the incident on October 31. The families reported that the group of 25 riders, dressed in similar costumes, was driving dangerously and had almost hit them. One patrol car was also nearly struck by the youth, who was on an e-dirt bike.

## What the police say happened

According to the VPD news release, the 15-year-old on the e-dirt bike was allegedly travelling at 50 to 60 km/h, blew through multiple stop signs, and refused to stop for officers before colliding with another vehicle. The youth was taken to hospital and is recovering from minor injuries.

Vancouver Police included a reminder in their release: most e-dirt bikes are designed for off-road use and are not permitted on public streets and highways in British Columbia. Riding one on a public road puts both the rider and other people at risk.

## The investigation

The VPD's Collision Investigation Unit, a team that handles serious traffic collisions, is now investigating the incident. As of the November 3 news release, no charges had been recommended. The investigation is continuing.

The Collision Investigation Unit handles cases where vehicles cause serious injury or death, or where the cause of a collision needs detailed technical review. VPD did not name any of the riders involved.

## A note on e-dirt bikes

E-dirt bikes look like regular off-road motorbikes but use an electric motor. They are built for dirt tracks and trails, not public roads. BC traffic law does not permit them on streets or highways. The VPD used this incident to remind the public of that rule.

## What residents can do

Anyone with information about this incident can contact Vancouver Police. The Collision Investigation Unit is the team handling the case. Residents who see groups of riders acting dangerously in their neighbourhood are encouraged to call police.
