A Los Angeles girl was killed in an electric bike crash. Her parents see greater danger

LOS ANGELES — Enchanted Way is a little street in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood with breathtaking views of the ocean spread out below.

But ever since their 12-year-old daughter died in an e-bike crash on the block a year and a half ago, Jonathan and Kaye Steinsapir have avoided the majestic road near their house.

The couple filed suit last week against Rad Power Bikes, the burgeoning company whose product Molly Steinsapir was riding down the steep hill of Enchanted Way with a friend on Jan. 31, 2021.
