Staying safe on an electric bike

Jim Henderson
E-bikes are used for local transportation, food deliveries, and for fun.

Over the past couple of years we’ve seen an increase in electric bikes, scooters and e-motors on Cape and Islands roadways and bike paths.

These electric vehicles can be a great alternative to cars, helping to reduce traffic, air pollution and carbon emissions. But when they’re not ridden in a safe manner they do poise a risk.

Joining us to talk about safe operation of electric 2 wheeled vehicles:

Jody Kasper, Nantucket Police Chief

Galen Mook, Executive Director Massachusetts Bicycle Coalition

Aram Goshgarian, Lieutenant with the Harwich Police Department

Katherine Jansen, chair of Falmouth’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee
