from HOA HELL · host Michael Kushner

One California parent is already facing felony charges. In this episode, attorney Michael Kushner, California’s most experienced homeowner-side HOA attorney, breaks down the e-bike, e-scooter, and e-motorcycle laws, the very real liability parents now carry, and what your HOA can require on top of all of it. What You’ll Learn in today’s Episode: ✅ The flat fine one HOA is charging that may be flatly illegal.✅ When your kid’s “e-bike” is secretly a motorcycle.✅ The California mother now facing felony charges because of her 14-year-old son’s e-motorcycle.✅ The helmet violation that puts the ticket in your name too.  If your kid rides an e-bike or e-scooter, this is the episode that could save you a fine, a lawsuit, or far worse, from an HOA lawyer who fights exclusively for homeowners. Helpful Links: “Can My California HOA Ban or Regulate E-Bikes and E-Scooters?”https://mbkchapman.com/hoa-e-bike-rules-fact-sheet/ Orange County District Attorney’s Office charging mother of 14-year-old son who allegedly killed someone while riding an e-motorcycle with felony child endangerment and involuntary manslaughter.https://ocdistrictattorney.gov/press/aliso-viejo-mother-charged-with-felony-child-endangerment-after-vietnam-veteran-critically-injured-when-he-was-hit-by-womans-14-year-old-son-illegally-riding-an-e-motorcycle-16-times-more-po/🎧 📞 If you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe to HOA HELL.
