North Vancouver RCMP are asking for the public’s help identifying a group of youths who were seen riding e-scooters and e-dirt bikes on a local track.
According to the news release by the North Vancouver RCMP, on August 12, 2026, at approximately 2:00 p.m., they received multiple reports of youths riding e-scooters and e-dirt bikes on the Fen Burdett track at 1648 Jones Avenue.
Complainants reported the youths were riding on the sidewalk and the track at dangerous speeds and performing stunts, putting other track users at risk. The youths left the area before police arrived. Police are now releasing images of the riders in hopes the public can help identify them.
“The Fen Burdett track is intended to provide a safe recreational space for pedestrians,” said Corporal Mansoor Sahak, Media Relations Officer for the North Vancouver RCMP, adding that the operation of motorized vehicles on the track creates safety concerns for other users and can damage the track surface and surrounding infrastructure. He noted e-dirt bikes are also prohibited on public roadways, and asked anyone who can identify the riders to contact police.
According to the news release, North Vancouver RCMP, in partnership with public safety stakeholders, have conducted education and enforcement initiatives since January 2026 to address the unsafe and illegal use of e-dirt bikes and e-scooters, following an increase in complaints involving excessive speeds, sidewalk riding, failure to wear helmets, and other unsafe behaviours in public spaces. While these efforts have led to positive results, a small number of individuals continue to disregard the law and the B.C. Motor Vehicle Act by operating e-dirt bikes illegally.
The police are reminding parents that e-dirt bikes are not street legal and that they are responsible for ensuring the vehicles are used only where permitted, warning that failure to do so can put riders and the public at risk and may result in enforcement action.
Anyone with information about the incident or who recognizes the youth in the photos is asked to call North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 and quote file 26-16821. Those wishing to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
