It could go up to 60 mph with that particular model, and it could go from like 35 mph in two to three seconds," Spitzer said.

Investigators say Mejer was warned by sheriff's deputies about letting her son illegally ride the e-motorcycle in June of last year.

Mejer reportedly called the sheriff's department, complaining that a neighbor was posting pictures of her son riding an e-motorcycle, saying he was out of control.

The sheriff's department says it spent nearly 30 minutes explaining to her that her son could not legally ride the e-motorcycle, and that she would face criminal charges if she continued to let him.

• Ed Ashman, an 81-year-old retired Marine Corps captain and substitute teacher, has passed away following a hit-and-run collision involving a 14-year-old on an electric motorcycle.
• The suspect’s mother, Tommi Jo Mejer, faces multiple felony charges after allegedly ignoring police warnings and initially lying to investigators about owning the high-powered vehicle.
• Authorities have not yet specified if the teen's charges will be upgraded following Ashman's death, though District Attorney Todd Spitzer has vowed to hold parents strictly accountable for such "loaded weapons."
The collision happened on April 16 near the intersection of Toledo Way and Ridge Route Drive by El Toro High School, where Ashman was a substitute teacher.

According to police, Ashman was crossing the street when a 14-year-old boy, performing wheelies on a Surron Ultra Bee e-motorcycle, struck him and took off. 


The vehicle, which can reach speeds of 58 mph, was operated without the required license, registration, or insurance.

Tommi Jo Mejer, the boy’s mother, was arrested and charged with felony child endangerment and accessory after the fact.
