Parents Need This Survival Guide

In late 2024, we were thrilled to announce the release of The Caring Parent’s e-Bike Survival Guide. This essential guide equips parents with the tools they need to handle their teens’ e-bike safety, including everything from shopping tips to behavior management, ultimately benefiting communities across the nation.

For Parents of Tweens and Teens

This book will help parents:

  • Shop Smarter. Save yourself from spending thousands of dollars on an illegal bike that the police will confiscate permanently (even if the kid is behaving on it)! What to ask and what to look for!
  • Control Speeds. Learn about your child’s e-bike speed governor. Stop them from falling prey to online videos that show kids how to disable their speed controls. Illegal speed is deadly!

The Caring Parent’s E-Bike Survival Guide contains the wording for a valuable behavior contract. This helps families discuss and define their rules, so they can form a clear agreement with buy-in from everyone involved.

The Bellemont Project offers a complete contract in the Incline Program. An abridged version is available for free download here.

This one tool is immensely valuable to families and their communities.

The Caring Parent’s E-Bike Survival Guide offers the contracts text and so much more. Available on Amazon.

Many of us have seen it: a handful of teens on e-bikes lift their front wheels into the air, going into a ‘power wheelie’ maneuver, and then they hit their throttles to zoom through an intersection at dangerous speeds. Cars slam to a halt, pedestrians run for cover, and the teens grin as they create havoc in traffic. Too often, someone gets hurt.

Where other experts focus on teaching rules to kids, and others try to help them maneuver safely, this book delves into a deeper challenge — rider conduct. It might be as simple as ordinary teen behavior, such as forgetting that they’re not supposed to invite pals to hop on with them for a ride. Or, misconduct might be more intentional, such as joining a street takeover or aggressively speeding too close to a pedestrian on a sidewalk. Punishing rider misbehavior runs the danger of confirming an anti-hero mindset that’s being sold to kids by online influencers. Instead, parents can use powerful communication skills to help young riders develop a more mature perspective on riding can make all the difference.

How to Make a Big Difference

To go even bigger, reach out to these key stakeholders and advocate for the distribution of this essential guide to every household with teens in your community. It’s an opportunity to make a significant impact, fostering a safer environment for our youth and reinforcing the importance of informed and responsible e-bike usage.
