Police said a group of teens caught doing stunts while riding illegal e-motorcycles near the Irvine Spectrum Center in Orange County over the weekend actually wanted them to post about the incident.
“On Saturday, five kids around 13 years old were riding illegal e-motorcycles near the Spectrum,” the Irvine Police Department posted Monday night. Police said that some of the kids were spotted performing dangerous stunts and wheelies.
When officers contacted the teens, they confirmed that all five “e-motos” were unlawful and impounded them. “Their parents gave them a much slower ride back home to the Great Park area,” police said.
Parents were urged to pay attention to where their kids are going, what they are riding and how they are riding it.
“Your kids know these devices are illegal and follow our social media. These riders hoped we would share this incident,” the post read.
The Police Department also addressed the “let kids be kids” crowd. “Allowing a juvenile to operate a device capable of traveling over 80 MPH is reckless and a recipe for disaster.”
Police said they would continue to enforce bike safety laws daily and aggressively impound illegal devices.
