What Should E-Bike Riders Do After Being Hit by a Vehicle?
E-bike riders face many of the same risks as traditional cyclists when sharing streets with larger vehicles. Wearing a properly fitted helmet can help reduce the chance of serious head trauma during a fall or collision. Riders should also use lights and reflective gear when visibility is limited.
After being struck, a rider should seek medical attention even if the injury initially appears minor. Head injuries can sometimes produce symptoms that are not immediately obvious. Keeping photos of bicycle damage, clothing, road conditions, and any visible injuries may also help document what happened. Witness names and contact information can be provided when available. Riders should also keep medical records and other treatment-related paperwork following a vehicle-related injury.
