A 13-year-old boy riding a Veo e-bike has died after a collision involving a vehicle in Denver on May 7.

The e-bike rider was traveling southbound on the crosswalk of West Colfax Avenue and North Knox Court at 4:39 p.m. when the rider was hit by a Volkswagen going 35 mph.

The driver of the vehicle had a green light. The e-biker was crossing the crosswalk illegally, according to a DPD police report.

Weather conditions were clear and the road was straight and flat, the report said.

The driver braked his vehicle but still collided with the boy. The driver committed “no contributing action,” according to the report, and is not being charged.

Veo, the rentable e-scooter and e-bike company, launched service in Denver on May 1.

E-scooter and e-bike injuries have ramped up considerably in recent years.

The latest fatal incident marks the second e-bike death in Denver this year.

Injuries and fatalities have sparked pushes for increased legislation and age verification measures, such as House Bill 26-1125.

One parent, Jaci Tylicki, spoke to 9 News about Veo accessibility near her son’s middle school.

“He came home, and he said, ‘Mom, I’ve been taking the scooters. They gave us 60 free minutes,’ ” Tylicki told 9News in May.

Her son told her he only needed a name and email address to access the scooters, the 9News article said.

Veo requires users to confirm they are over 18, though it operates on an “honor code” system.

Editor’s note: Veo responded to The Denver Gazette’s request for comment on Monday, saying, “We are deeply saddened by this tragic incident and extend our heartfelt condolences to the individual’s family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

“Safety is our highest priority. We are gathering information, reviewing the circumstances surrounding this incident, and cooperating with law enforcement as they conduct their investigation. Out of respect for the family and the ongoing investigation, we are unable to comment further at this time.”

The boys mother spoke to the Denver Gazette.

“I’m sad, I’m angry,” the mother of the boy who died after the May 7 collision said. “The most important thing is that I don’t want another mother to have to feel this way.”
