"Neurosurgens at Mercy Medical Center in Redding, California, are noticing a spike in head-related injuries connected to "e-bikes." And, of course, there are the deaths. Tragically, a teen was recently killed riding an "electric bike""
Law enforcement actions on the Front Range focus on modified or high-powered electric bikes rather than all e-bikes. Confusion persists because different terms and definitions are used for motorized bicycles. A proposed California bill, SB 1167, would define what qualifies as an e-bike and prohibit retailers from using the term when products do not meet the definition. Municipalities across the country have taken local measures, including increased fines for electric bike violations and bans on e-bikes in parks, sidewalks, trails, and fields. Medical providers report spikes in head-related injuries connected to e-bikes, along with deaths, including a teen killed while riding an electric bike.
