A 16-year-old e-dirt biker was ticketed after police spotted him doing wheelies and travelling over the speed limit on Government Road in North Burnaby on Friday. When the RCMP officer attempted a stop, the biker cut into oncoming traffic, ran a stop sign and took off.

“E-dirt bikes are not permitted on our roads, no matter your age,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Kalanj. “Having your licence suspended and paying a fine is a much better outcome than the potential consequences police have recently seen at collisions involving these types of vehicles.”

Article content

The 16-year-old won’t be able to apply for a full driver’s licence until all fines are paid, and will likely have his class 7 (learner’s) licence suspended.
