Youth Sports Alliance’s eBike teen safety class sells out

PARK CITY, Utah — Youth Sports Alliance (YSA) teamed up with the American Bicycling Education Association on Wednesday and offered an eBike safety class for teenagers held at Ecker Hill Middle School, and the registration sold out.

“Youth Sports Alliance is excited to be able to bring this ebike safety class for teens to Park City,” YSA Executive Director Emily Fisher told TownLift. “We know that it’s been something that the community has been interested in, and we’re happy to provide it.”

With eBike, teenagers have found transportation independence, but while eBike are legally defined as bicycles, they are much closer to mopeds.

Kids learned to use the roads and bike paths safely and responsibly. They were taught to understand the rules of the road and crash avoidance.

Participants learned the best practices for eBike success including the “superpowers” that make drivers treat them with respect.

eBike Training for Teens taught proven methods for safe eBiking with engaging content adapted for middle- and high-school teens.

Information was reinforced with quizzes.

Each student who completed the course received a printable personalized certificate of completion demonstrating the knowledge and skills teens need for safe eBiking.

YSA offered this class at a heavily discounted rate.

Although the local YSA course is completed, teens can always sign up directly with the national program by following this link teenebiketraining.com.
