The Orange County District Attorney’s Office has made waves this month by charging a Yorba Linda father, Richard John Eyssallenne, with the felony of child endangerment and abuse and the misdemeanor of contributing to the delinquency of a minor for illegally modifying his child’s e-bike. Last year, Mr. Eyssallenne’s 12 year old son got into an accident with a moving vehicle while riding his modified e-bike. After inspecting the modified e-bike, it was determined that Mr. Eyssallene’s modifications to the e-bike had transformed into an e-motorcycle.
