Factors Related to e-Bike Accidents
As more e-bikes become readily available and accessible to younger riders, the risks of injuries with cars is also growing. A full investigation to determine who had the right of way becomes important. In most situations, e-bikes must be treated like other bikes. Yet, there is significant confusion about where riders should be located, and younger riders often do not know their responsibilities at intersections. Drivers of vehicles are often unsure how to share the road with them as well.
