Free E-Bike & E-Scooter Safety Course for Teens

Q: Who is this course for?

It's built for riders ages 12–15, the middle schoolers and early high schoolers riding e-bikes and e-scooters to school every day. That said, anyone can take it: older teens, first-time adult riders, and parents who want to understand the rules.

Q: Does the course cover e-scooters or just e-bikes?

Both. Choose your ride at the start, and the course tailors the vehicle-specific lessons to you. Core safety skills, including hazard recognition, crash avoidance, and rules of the road, apply to both e-bikes and e-scooters.

Q: How long does the course take?

About 30 minutes. You can finish in one sitting or split it up: progress saves automatically across devices.

Q: Do riders get a certificate?

Yes. Every rider who completes the course earns a certificate of completion they can share with schools, community programs, or parents as proof of safety training.

Q: Are there age requirements for riding an e-bike or e-scooter?

Age requirements vary widely by state and city, and new age rules are being passed every year. Most states set 16+ for Class 3 e-bikes; e-scooter minimum ages range from 8 to 18 depending on the state. The course covers how to find and follow the e-bike and e-scooter laws where you ride.

Q: What topics does the course cover?

E-bike classifications, e-scooter basics, state and local laws, safety gear and helmet fit, pre-ride inspections, hazard recognition, crash avoidance, rules of the road, night riding, group riding, and what to do if a crash occurs.

Q: Can parents take the course too?

Absolutely, many do. Taking it alongside your teen (or on your own) makes it easier to set ground rules and have better conversations about e-bike and e-scooter safety.

They're doing 28 miles an hour and never had a driving lesson.

Drivers ed starts at 15, but the e-bike shows up even younger.
Real rules of the road: right of way, following distance, and more.
Short videos, quick quizzes, under 30 minutes. Funnier than you expect.
Free in all 50 states, with a certificate at the end.

Why Do Riders Need This Course?

28 mph

Faster than a kick scooter, and it does not stop like one either. The first time you see them pull into traffic, that lands differently.

Drivers ed starts at 15

Your 12 year old is already on the road. Right of way, hazard spacing, and hand signals are drivers ed material, and nobody has taught them any of it yet.

4 in 10

E-bike emergency room visits are now riders ages 10 to 19, and that number is climbing as more riders take to the road unprepared.

"Wear a Helmet" isn't enough

For most families, that has been the only safety conversation so far. Let us fill the gap, we can do it in just 30 minutes.

What's in the Course

Aceable's learning experience team has spent years teaching new drivers, and this course uses the same instructional approach applied to teen e-bike and e-scooter riding. It is built on emergency room visit data, documented crash patterns, and the laws currently affecting riders under 16, not generic bike safety filler.

Where You're Allowed to Ride

With traffic and not against it, which most kids get backwards. Plus sidewalk versus street, which changes by state, city, and sometimes by the block.

Who Goes First

Four-way stops, intersections, turning across traffic, and pulling out of a driveway. Right of way is the most useful thing a rider can understand, and most kids are guessing at it.

Hand Signals

Left turn, right turn, and stop. Most riders have never been shown these (and neither have parents). It takes a minute to learn and helps the driver behind them know what they are about to do.

Room to Stop

An e-bike does not stop the way a kick scooter does. Riders learn how much space to leave in front of them so there is always enough room to do something about it.

Made by the Team Who Have Taught Over Two Million Students to Drive

Videos, then quizzes

Every lesson is a short video with a few questions after it. The quizzes are the reason it works, it helps ensure the lessons stick. Retake any quiz.

Less than 30 minutes, any device

Most riders finish in one sitting on a phone. If they pause, progress saves on its own. They can start at the kitchen table and finish on a laptop.

It's actually funny

We have Ace, he's a lot, but the teens and tweens love to learn from him. Kids laugh through the course and bring up a rule they learned at dinner.

They Finish With Something to Show Off

Everybody who completes the course gets a certificate with their name on it. Print it for the fridge, email it to school, or keep it on a phone.

It is starting to be genuinely useful too. More schools and cities want riders to show they have had safety training before they can park on campus or ride in certain areas. Utah already requires a course for young riders, and some California cities will drop a citation for a minor who has completed one. If your district heads that way, your rider is already covered.

Parents, You Can Take It With Them

Plenty of parents sit down and go through the course next to their kid, and plenty take it alone first so they know what they are talking about. It is less than 30 minutes and a decent thing to do together on a weekend.

The difference shows up afterward. Instead of "wear a helmet and be careful," you can tell them who has the right of way at the corner, which side of the road they belong on, how much room to leave in front of them, and what the hand signal for a left turn looks like.

Real Parents. Real Kids.

"Didn't realize the bike we bought was one of the faster ones until we did this together. We all learned stuff, and now I actually know what's legal for their age around here."

Matt M. (Parent of twin boys)

"My desk faces the street, so I watch her ride off every morning. I'd seen her cross without looking both ways more than once. We took this together and she came out of it knowing the hand signals better than I did."

Taylor M. (Mom of a 12 year old)

"Wasn't expecting my son to actually do it, but he finished it on his phone in like 20 minutes without me nagging. He told me after that he's supposed to ride with traffic, not against it, which he was 100% doing before."

Elizabeth M. (mom of a 13 year old)

FAQs

Is the e-bike and e-scooter safety course really free?

Yes: this e-bike and e-scooter safety course is completely free, for every rider, in all 50 states. Aceable built this course because young riders are getting hurt at record rates and families deserve real training, not a pamphlet. Creating a free account saves your progress and issues your certificate.

Is a safety course required by law to ride an e-bike?

It depends where you live, and e-bike laws are changing quickly. Utah now requires young riders to complete a safety course before riding independently. Some California cities will waive citations for minors who complete a safety course, and a growing number of school districts require training before students can park e-bikes on campus. Most states don't require a course yet, but knowing your local e-bike laws is part of what this course teaches.

What's the difference between Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 e-bikes?

Class 1 is pedal-assist up to 20 mph. Class 2 adds a throttle, also capped at 20 mph. Class 3 is pedal-assist up to 28 mph, and most states require riders to be at least 16. The course breaks down all three e-bike classes Ebike Guide #classbuy Blogand explains why some popular "e-bikes" that go 40+ mph aren't legally e-bikes at all.
