A lot of times it is involving a juvenile that crashed into whether it was a car or actually crashed on their own or even into other pedestrians that are on the sidewalks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He tells <a href=\"https:\/\/cbs12.com\/news\/local\/martin-county-florida-school-board-restrictions-e-bikes-electric-bicycles-campus-danger-helmet-injuries-school-property-16-age-rules-enforcement-safety-students-accident\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CBS 12 News<\/a> that&#8217;s why the School Board is discussing a new policy that could keep the bikes off elementary and middle school campuses.  <\/p>\n<p>Currently, all students are allowed to bring e-bikes, scooters and skateboards to school, but they are not supposed to ride them on campus.  <\/p>\n<p>One proposal being considered would allow only students who are at least 16 with a drivers license to bring the e-bikes and they would be required to wear a helmet.<\/p>\n<p>The school district will continue to work on a policy to bring back to the School Board for a vote.
