They have also appealed for witnesses while warning against the dangers of off-road bikes.
Chief Inspector Jay Crellin said: “I would appeal to anyone who was travelling in the area of Newsham Park area towards Muirhead Avenue who thinks they captured something on their dashcam, anyone who witnessed the collision or believes they saw the bike travelling in the Tuebrook area to contact us.
“Off-road bikes, particularly when ridden in an antisocial manner, are capable of causing injury both to the riders and to other people and are not permitted to be ridden on roads and pavements.
“I would urge people to think carefully before purchasing such machines.”
The cops have released images of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the incident, believing he could have important information.
Chief Inspector Crellin said: “I would also appeal for the male pictured to come forward as we believe he has information which is vital to our investigation.”
