The training is intended to respond to a rise in e‑bike use among young adults and students. EbikeSense founder Megan Lam led the instruction, covering “basic bike checks to anticipating traffic hazards,” and said classroom and in-person sessions have been part of a broader safety push with local schools.

Lam noted schools in El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach have launched sticker programs that require students to complete a safety training before they can ride to school and park on campus. “They're everywhere, and it's my passion just to keep kids safer on the road,” Lam said.

The classes are free. For more information, the news segment directed listeners to ebikesense.com.

Details in the segment did not specify a standing schedule or registration process for the El Segundo classes beyond the EbikeSense website.","El Segundo Police Department and EbikeSense are offering free e-bike safety classes for children; local school districts have added sticker programs requiring safety training before students may park e-bikes on campus.","actionData","errors"]
