Those incidents have put e-bike safety at the top of mind throughout the city as some can go nearly 30 mph.
"These things are going much faster than a regular bicycle, and a lot of these kids do not have the expertise to be riding these things," Fresno Police Sgt. Michael McCray said.
13-year-old Dominiq Puentes and a 12-year-old were riding a minibike near Bullard and Palm in Northwest Fresno around 10:30 Friday, when the night turned deadly.
Exclusive video obtained by Action News from a nearby Chevron shows the moment just before the two children and a truck collide, killing Puentes and critically injuring the 12-year-old.
The cause remains under investigation.
Then on Sunday, police say a 16-year-old boy on a pocket bike crashed into a vehicle on West and Shields in Central Fresno, leaving the boy seriously hurt.
Officers believe that the teen was possibly under the influence of alcohol.
Police say everyone needs to obey the rules of the road and parents should be on alert.
"Be aware of what your kids are doing and prevent some of these accidents yourselves by not allowing them to be on these vehicles," Sgt. McCray stated.
These incidents come just days before National Bike and Roll to School Day on Wednesday.
The Fresno Unified School District using that day to educate students on the safety of e-bikes.
"Always wear your helmet, follow the traffic laws and signals, ride with traffic," Vanessa Ramirez with Fresno Unified Emergency Response said.
Both the district and Fresno Police advise kids be educated on the bikes themselves and the roads before getting on one.
The District Attorney's office sent Action News a statement that reads:
"Our hearts are with the family of the 13-year-old who lost his life and with the child who was injured in Friday night's crash. This is a heartbreaking and avoidable tragedy.
What we are seeing with increasing frequency are young teens operating motorized bikes, scooters and golf carts in dangerous ways - often at night, without proper supervision, protective equipment and in active traffic. These are not toys. They can reach speeds that put a child's life and the lives of others at serious risk in a matter of seconds.
While every case is fact-specific, parents and guardians should understand that there can be serious ramifications when a child is allowed to operate these modes of transportation unsafely. Those consequences are not only legal - they can be irreversible and deadly.
We urge families to take this seriously and for the community to report unsafe riding when they see it. Awareness and intervention can save lives."
