An Irvine juvenile was cited for not wearing a helmet and his electric dirt bike was impounded
On Tuesday, a police officer stopped a juvenile riding an electric dirt bike through the Great Park neighborhood without a motorcycle-rated helmet, according to the Irvine Police Department.
The Surron is capable of traveling around 50 MPH. The juvenile was given a ticket for not wearing a proper helmet and not having a driver’s license. We called a wrecker, and the bike was stored.
Unsafe riders should expect strict enforcement. The Irvine Police Department’s daily enforcement efforts are being supported by routine high-visibility enforcement operations.

There were no helmet laws when we grew up. Everything was great. Now they ticket the poor kid AND impound his electric bike. That’s severe. And they’re proud of their harsh authoritarianism too. Orwellian. The Karen’s and SIMPs voted in this totalitarian nonsense. How do we get it off our society?
E-bikes didn’t exist, and children without any driver training and licensure were never able to ride dangerous vehicles with top speeds of up to 50 MPH and above when you grew up. That’s why. Now hiring (and sending the bill to the taxpayer) for a wrecker to impound a bike seems excessive and wasteful (not to mention looks absurd) when it could fit in the back of a police Explorer or SUV. If this was a gasoline powered, street legal motorcycle the kid was riding around a park would you be complaining of Orwellian overreach?
You’re wrong. Mopeds were all the rage and we were all driving them. They had top speeds ranging from 30mph to 70 mph depending on what you could afford. They were not classified as motor vehicles in my day. There were no helmet laws. We had a great time and the jack boots left us alone. Stop making up nonsense Karen.
Damn, what was your day, old-timer? You must be living in another world. It’s 2024 now.
I’m guessing you don’t drive a car much anymore, old-timer. Because if you did and you saw what I see every day– 13 year olds on e-bikes riding in full traffic lanes, looking at their cell phones (didn’t exist in your day) and ignoring all rules of the road blowing through red lights– you’d think it was ridiculous too and that sensible regulation is needed. Try taking a drive and you’ll see. It’s not 1952 anymore and the roads are a lot more crowded.
Double-masked, voting for the next wave of authoritarian legislation and lock downs. When the anti-Christ finally reveals herself, you people will excitedly line up for the mark of the beast because it will come with a “free” Chinese made cell phone.
