• E-bike Safety

  E-bikes are more popular than ever and as their popularity increases, education about e-bike safety is of the utmost importance.

   

  OUSD is working with the City of Oceanside and local law enforcement partners to bring greater awareness and education to our students and families about electric bike (e-bike) safety.

  Here is a 6 minute video on e-bike safety produced by the City of Oceanside.
