Young electric motorcyclist drives through stop sign, flees from B.C. police
Police say the rider appeared to have low skill and nearly collided with a car before fleeing, prompting a public appeal for help.
- On Aug. 28, a B.C. Highway Patrol officer attempted to stop a young electric motorcycle rider on Grand Boulevard in North Vancouver, but the driver fled after nearly colliding with a white Honda Civic at a stop sign.
- Police report an increasing number of young riders attempting to bait authorities into pursuits using electric motorcycles with no pedals or signal lights, which are often illegal on public roads.
- The suspect is described as a 14- to 18-year-old male with a skinny build and brown skin, wearing a white bicycle helmet, black hoodie, black cuffed jeans, and black Adidas sneakers.
- B.C. Highway Patrol Sgt. Michael McLaughlin urged families to enforce e-device rules, noting that children often "promise to ride responsibly" but fail to keep machines off public roads.
- Anyone who recognizes the rider should contact B.C. Highway Patrol in Squamish, as the officer ended the pursuit to prevent the youth from harming himself or others.
