• Yikes! Beware of the E-bikes (advocatenews.net) — Stoneham is central to Saugus’s new e-bike safety push, as officials repeatedly reference a fatal Stoneham crash involving a 13-year-old and note that one leader grew up there. Saugus schools, police, and selectmen are now coordinating education, enforcement, and a planned public forum to curb risky e-bike and scooter use before spring.
