The 17-year-old, whose name is withheld for legal reasons, is accused of hitting a 59-year-old woman while riding an e-bike recklessly in a public park in Perth’s northern suburbs on July 26.

He appeared today via video link in the West Australian Children’s Court, where he was granted bail.

His bail conditions require him to live at his parent’s residence, observe a curfew from 7 pm to 7 am unless with a parent, submit to police checks during those hours, and surrender his passport.

The boy is additionally forbidden from riding any vehicles, including e-bikes, on public roads or in public areas and must avoid international departure points.

The teenager will reside with his mother in a small town about an hour from Perth, while his father will relocate there to jointly supervise him.

Prosecution did not oppose bail after a favourable bail service report was returned to the court.

Defence lawyer Simon Watters told the court the boy would be kept busy and a support program would be put in place to help him.

Watters mentioned that he requested police helicopter footage of the boy riding the motorbike, which experts will analyze to assess his speed.

He also said the bike may have had a mechanical issue.

Police charged the boy with manslaughter, driving without a licence and riding an unregistered vehicle after the woman died in hospital.

Additionally, he faces charges of reckless driving and failing to stop as instructed, with police alleging that five minutes before the incident, a motorbike officer attempted to stop him using lights and sirens.

Police say the teen failed to stop and accelerated away, then travelled off-road.

The police chase ceased due to public safety concerns, but the police air wing continued to monitor the boy.

The matter will return to the same court on October 6.
