E-Bike Accident In Milford Sparks New Complaints

MILFORD, MA — While e-bike concerns have increased in the last few years, the Milford Police Department is again sending a warning to parents.

Milford police responded to a call from a driver who reported that her car was struck by a juvenile riding an e-bike near Highland Street before 7 a.m. on Wednesday, sparking new complaints.

When arriving at the scene, officers spoke to a 15-year-old who said he had lost control of his bike before colliding with the driver's car. While there were no injuries, this marks the seventh e-bike-related incident in the last ten days, according to the Milford Police Department.

“We are once again urging our community to educate your children of the significant safety risks to riders and pedestrians if proper laws and safety precautions are not taken," said Milford Police Chief Robert Tusino in a statement on Thursday. "If this trend continues, it will unquestionably result in tragedy.”

This comes months after a serious e-bike crash in the town in August left a teenage male with non-life-threatening injuries. His head struck the vehicle's windshield.

At the time, the Milford Police Department said it had experienced a "troubling surge in unsafe and illegal e-bike operation" in 2025.
