CHILLIWACK – The operator of an electronic dirt bike faces hundreds of dollars in fines after a recent traffic stop and inspection by police in Chilliwack.

Police in Chilliwack say they recently stopped an E-dirt bike on Promontory Road. RCMP personnel say an inspection determined the bike could potentially reach speeds of up to 72 km/hr.

The bike was also being operated without valid insurance, and the rider did not possess a valid driver’s licence.

Police provided a picture of a tow truck near the electronic dirt bike on Promontory Road near Base 10, signalling that the vehicle was towed.

The scofflaw received violation tickets of $598 for no insurance and $276 for no driver’s license.

“The Chilliwack RCMP continues proactive enforcement efforts to improve road safety and reduce risks for all road users,” police said. “Let’s work together to keep our roads safe.”

Social media pages throughout the Fraser Valley have been flooded with complaints from residents over the past year complaining that e-dirt bike riders and e-scooter riders frequently break existing rules around their usage, from lack of helmets to erratic driving to weaving in and out of traffic, or not stopping at stop signs or intersections. Police often lack the resources necessary to routinely crack down on these types of vehicles and related violations.
