California mom charged with involuntary manslaughter after teen’s high-powered e-motorcycle kills pedestrian

A southern California mother faces involuntary manslaughter and additional counts after her 14-year-old son, riding a high-powered Surron e-motorcycle, struck and killed an 81-year-old man. Prosecutors say she allowed illegal riding despite warnings, adding charges of felony child endangerment, accessory after the fact, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor; she could face up to about 7 years and 8 months in prison if convicted. The case highlights ongoing debates over parental liability and safety around e-motorcycles for youths.
