E-bike-related ER visits soar 760% in three years — and 1,810% for kids: study

No surprise! Was to be expected! However, the traditional bicycle rate is still about 6 times higher than the e-bike rate of ED visits.

Just look at how fast some of these e-bikes go! These fast e-bikes also pose new and added dangers to e.g. pedestrians and children since some e-bike riders drive very fast on walkways, off road and off bike lanes etc..

The traditional bicycle rate remained stable, increasing only 7.9%, from 59.4 to 64.1 per 100,000 over the same period. ..."

  • Traumatic brain injury was diagnosed in 7.8% of e-bike-related ED visits among patients younger than 18 years, compared with 6.0% of traditional bicycle ED visits.
