For Parents

A clear view of your rider's progress — without becoming their gatekeeper.

The E-Bike Safe Rider Academy is designed for young riders to learn independently. You handle enrollment and stay informed; your rider does the learning at their own pace.

An Academy neighborhood scene: a young rider practicing while a parent watches from a supportive distance.

Your role, clarified

What the Academy asks of you — and what it doesn't.

We separate the few things you must do from the many things you don't need to do. Your rider isn't blocked waiting for you between lessons.

You handle

Required or potentially required

  • Create the family account and complete guardian consent for a minor.
  • Enroll the rider and select their primary state during checkout.
  • Help the rider enter accurate name, age, and state information.
  • Provide ordinary parental supervision outside the platform.
Not required for progression

Your rider doesn't wait on these

  • Approving each lesson before your rider can continue.
  • Reviewing every quiz score before the next module unlocks.
  • Signing in after each module to acknowledge progress.
  • Manually unlocking standard lessons for routine progression.
  • Completing the optional practical checklist before graduation.
Optional

Parent-controlled and optional

  • Reviewing overall progress, current module, and scores when you like.
  • Coaching a real-world skill from the optional practical checklist.
  • Adjusting notification preferences.
  • Sharing the graduate certificate through approved private options.

The rider experience

What your rider does in the Academy

Twelve short modules across four phases — Prepare, Control, Navigate, and Respond — guide riders through age-adapted lessons, scenarios, quick checks, and a final exam. Two youth mentors, Zoe and Marcus, guide riders through decisions and scenarios at every step.

Know the rules where you ride

Rules vary by location. We teach families what to check.

Your rider's state tells us where they primarily ride; the course content is the same everywhere. E-bike definitions, rider-age rules, helmet requirements, equipment rules, and where e-bikes may be ridden vary by state and local jurisdiction and may change. A parent or guardian should verify current requirements with official state and local authorities before the rider uses an e-bike. The Academy is general safety education and is not legal advice.

Graduation

What it takes to graduate

  • • Complete all 12 modules
  • • Pass the final exam
  • • Complete the rider safety pledge

Graduation does not require your acknowledgment or the practical checklist. Families receive a printable graduate certificate; the Academy does not confer state licensing or legal qualification.

Optional practical skills

A separate parent-supported checklist reinforces real-world handling. It is optional, recommended, and never required for online graduation.

INFO

Not a road test

Completing the checklist does not certify independent riding ability. Parents remain the best judge of when a rider is ready to ride more independently.

Privacy & account protections

Built with young riders in mind

Rider Mode uses a short PIN so a child can access lessons without exposing the family account. Parents can exit Rider Mode in one click and return to the parent dashboard at any time. See our privacy policy for full details.
