00:00The e-bike is a big help for 35-year-old Mars.
00:10We bought this e-bike so we can use it to go to the market and save money for our massage.
00:15When we go to the market, we put everything in it.
00:20Unlike when we commute, we only carry a few things.
00:25Here, we still have our family with us when we go to the market.
00:29But two years ago, his reliable e-bike broke down.
00:36The brake didn't work anymore so we brought a technician to replace it.
00:43They still can't fix it.
00:45That's why he temporarily put it outside their house.
00:50There are some that are parked here so we don't put it here.
00:54Since there's no one parked there, we put it there.
00:56We installed the battery so it won't get damaged.
01:00We charged it first before we installed it.
01:06But Mars didn't think that the e-bike would get damaged if it rains.
01:13In the CCTV camera footage,
01:16we can see Mars' three-year-old nephew riding an e-bike.
01:21We can see that after holding the e-bike for a long time,
01:26the e-bike fell down.
01:28A woman tried to stop the e-bike but it fell down in front of Mars' house.
01:35That day, I was sleeping inside the office.
01:39I was surprised that it suddenly fell down.
01:42We thought that someone jumped on it.
01:44When we ran outside, we were surprised that the e-bike was in front of us.
01:48Mars was surprised when he saw that the e-bike was parked without a key.
01:55He got on the e-bike without a key and the remote couldn't be accessed.
02:02We were surprised when he jumped on the e-bike and it suddenly fell down.
02:17Joe Bertolentino Jr. is a road safety expert.
02:21To ensure the safety of using an e-bike,
02:24it should be inspected before and after using it.
02:28We should check if the wheels are okay.
02:30After using the e-bike,
02:33we should also inspect if we parked it properly.
02:37We should make sure that the wheels are in good condition so that it won't move accidentally.
02:43We should also make sure that the key is not plugged in.
02:47We should make sure that the key is not turned on.
02:50Even if the key is not turned on,
02:53if you leave the key, it might still move.
02:55So, it's better to bring the key and turn off the car.
03:02It should also be parked in a safe place
03:05and there should be a barrier so that the children won't be able to ride it.
03:09If it's parked in a proper parking area,
03:13it means that our vehicle is safe.
03:15We don't have to worry about accidents like people or pedestrians.
03:22Meanwhile, the child in the CCTV video
03:31is safe and not injured.
03:34When we entered the house,
03:36I checked all of his body parts.
03:39I checked if he's okay or if he's injured.
03:42He's not injured.
03:44For now, Mar's nephew has recovered from the accident.
03:49Even if he's riding an e-bike,
03:52they make sure that the child is accompanied by an adult.
03:57We should remind our parents and guardians
04:01to be careful when taking care of our children
04:03so that their safety is not put at risk.
