The family of a woman who died in a crash with an e-bike has spoken out.

John Harris’s wife Shelley, 59, was allegedly crashed into by a 17-year-old riding an unregistered off-road electric motorbike near Edgewater Dr in Edgewater, Perth, about 2.30pm on July 26.

WA Police allege the teen had also been observed a short time beforehand travelling erratically in the Woodvale area.

The boy has been charged with manslaughter, no authority to drive (never hold) and used an unlicensed vehicle on a road.

Harris thanked WA Police “for their support and kindness towards me during this very difficult time”.

“I also want to acknowledge the very difficult work they are called to do under very challenging circumstances and often in the face of derision and ingratitude.

“The loss of my dear wife Shelley was both a shock and a tragedy in so many ways.

“Many people’s lives have been negatively impacted by her death.

“My wife was an excellent nurse and many people will now never be blessed to be cared for by her.

“She was admired, respected and loved by so many of her colleagues.

“Her infectious smile was disarming and her dedication and diligence in everything she applied herself to was something increasingly difficult to find in today’s society.”

The teenager was granted bail last week, on the condition that he does not drive any motor vehicles, including e-bikes and e-vehicles.

An inquiry is currently underway in WA into e-rideables.

It was launched in June following the death of Thanh Phan, 51, and multiple other incidents.

Following Shelley’s death, the Government announced it would include electric bikes in the investigation.

The inquiry will look at compliance and classification of e-rideables, usage and policing in high pedestrian areas and entertainment precincts as well as broader regulation.
