An e-bike rider has died after crashing with a bus in Perth.
The 50-year-old was pronounced dead at the intersection of Marlboro and Morrison Rds in Swan View, east Perth, about 6.50pm on Monday.
Major crash investigators have called on anyone with information, including CCTV, dash-cam or mobile phone vision, to contact police.

It comes just over a month after the WA Government revealed the findings of a parliamentary enquiry into e-bikes, after Perth father Thanh Phan was hit and killed by an e-bike in May.
While saying it would agree to all but one of the 33 recommendations laid out by the inquiry, the government urged the Commonwealth to take the first step.
“The Cook Government is calling on the Commonwealth to undertake urgent national reform to close regulatory gaps, including tougher import controls, prohibitions on device tampering, strengthened national classifications, mandatory speed limits and speed-limiting technology, and the introduction of audible alert systems as standard,” the government said in March.
“Commonwealth action is critical to ensure overpowered devices can be blocked from entering the country and strong standards put in place to prevent dangerous, high-speed modifications.”
It means immediate action on e-bikes is likely off the table as overpowered vehicles are already illegal in the state and police have the right to seize and crush the devices.

From July 1, riders in Queensland will need to hold a valid learner’s permit or licence to use the devices, while parents who supply them to underage children could also face fines.
Queensland Premier David Crisafulli told Sunrise the laws would encourage greater accountability on the issue, particularly for parents.
“It’s about making sure we accept personal responsibility,” he said.
“It’s no different if a parent supplies alcohol or drugs to a kid, or a knife. They can be held accountable.
“These are a weapon, and they’re a dangerous weapon.
“In the past three years, there’s been over a dozen people killed in Queensland, and there’s been 6000 injuries, and many of them are life-changing and serious.”
They’re some of the most restrictive laws in the country, as other states such as NSW also toy with potential legislative changes.
The state government has already announced legislation that would grant officers the power to seize and crush illegal e-bikes while also signalling a potential minimum age for riders.
