E-Bike, E-Scooter, and EV Charging Safety Reminder
Dear Owners and Residents,
The Board of Directors would like to bring to your attention some important safety considerations regarding e-bikes, e-scooters, and electric vehicle (EV) charging within our community.
Riding Safety
We have received reports of e-bikes and e-scooters being operated on our common element roadways at unsafe speeds, including by children who are not wearing helmets. For everyone's safety, please ensure that:
- Riders travel at a safe, walking-pace speed on common element roadways and laneways, where vehicles are also present.
- Children riding e-bikes, e-scooters, or similar devices wear an appropriate helmet at all times.
- Riders remain alert for vehicles, pedestrians, and other residents, particularly near intersections, driveways, and parking areas.
Battery and Charging Safety
E-bikes, e-scooters, and other devices powered by lithium-ion batteries carry a fire risk if damaged, improperly charged, or charged using non-approved equipment. To help keep our community safe:
- Use only the charger and battery supplied or approved by the device manufacturer.
- Do not charge devices in a way that overloads an electrical outlet, and avoid leaving charging devices unattended for extended periods.
- Look for a recognized certification mark (such as CSA, cUL, or cETL) when purchasing batteries or charging equipment.
Electric Vehicle Charging
With more residents charging electric vehicles, please be mindful that any EV charging must be approved by the Board, and that there is an electrical cost of $45 a month. For more information, please reach out to reception@ppma.ca.
The Board is currently reviewing these issues further and considering additional measures. In the meantime, we ask all residents to be mindful of these safety practices for the benefit of the entire community.
Thank you for your cooperation.
