Electric bike and scooter safety is now part of the curriculum in some schools – and surprisingly, it’s happening in Texas. As the popularity of electric bikes and scooters continues to rise, educators have recognized the importance of teaching students about safe riding practices and the rules of the road. This initiative aims to equip young riders with the knowledge they need to navigate their communities safely.
The program includes hands-on training sessions where students learn about the mechanics of electric bikes and scooters, the importance of wearing helmets, and how to follow traffic signals. In addition to practical skills, the curriculum emphasizes the environmental benefits of using electric vehicles as a sustainable mode of transportation.
Local school districts are collaborating with community organizations to ensure that the program is engaging and informative. As more states consider similar programs, Texas is setting a precedent for the integration of electric mobility education in schools, promoting safety and sustainability among the next generation of riders.
