The Surprising Risks of E-Bike Riding in California
Electric bikes (e-bikes) are increasingly popular for their convenience and environmental benefits. Some forecast the global market to top $50 billion by 2029. However, they pose more significant accident risks than motorcycles, bicycles, passenger cars, and even pedestrians. Studies show that e-bike riders face higher injury rates, with 115 injuries per million rides, surpassing motorcycles, bicycles, and cars.

E-Bike vs. Regular Bicycles: A Comparative Safety Analysis
Increased Accident Risks with Electric Bikes
E-bikes present unique dangers, such as:
– Higher likelihood of collisions with pedestrians.
– Greater severity of injuries compared to regular bicycles.
– Higher concussion rates from powered scooter accidents.
Considering the high usage of e-bikes, these risks translate to a significant number of potential injuries.
Understanding the Dangers of Electric Bikes
E-bikes carry several risks, but here are the 5 most important to be aware of:
– They are less visible to larger vehicles and lack protective barriers.
– E-bikes are often categorized as regular bicycles under motor vehicle laws, requiring no license, registration, insurance, or plates.
– Heavier than regular bikes, e-bikes have greater momentum and stopping distances, increasing injury risk in collisions.
– High speeds make avoiding collisions difficult, exacerbating impact severity.
– Inexperience, malfunctioning rentals, and improper use (such as riding under the influence or overloading) can lead to severe accidents.
