Brea Olinda Unified School District (BOUSD) is proud to announce a new partnership with Brea Police Department and the City of Brea focused on promoting e-bike safety among students and families. As e-bike use continues to grow in our community, safety education is more important than ever.
Beginning in the 2025-26 school year, students who plan to ride and park e-bikes on school campuses must first complete an official e-bike safety class in order to receive a valid BOUSD e-bike permit. Permits will be available for free to all secondary students and 6th grade elementary students who have completed the e-bike safety course. This new requirement is part of the district’s ongoing commitment to student safety and the safe routes to school program.
Led by Brea Police Department officers, the free e-bike safety classes cover:
-
Local and state laws for e-bike operation
-
Safe riding practices on streets and sidewalks
-
Helmet and equipment use
-
Common accident prevention strategies
Completion of a safety class is mandatory to obtain an e-bike permit. Upon completion of the e-bike safety course, students will receive a certificate of completion that can be used to obtain the permit sticker at their respective school. Permits will be available to Brea Junior High and Brea Olinda High School students during their fall registration dates.
E-Bike Safety Class Offerings
Two e-bike safety classes led by Brea PD will be offered this summer:
-
