E-Bike Accidents in Pennsylvania
Collisions involving e-bikes are on the rise across Pennsylvania as more people turn to them for commuting and recreation. While e-bikes provide convenience and accessibility, they also create new safety challenges. Riders travel faster than traditional cyclists, and motorists are not always prepared to share the road responsibly.
In this Bethlehem crash, the rider suffered a wrist injury—a common outcome in bike and e-bike crashes, where victims instinctively extend their arms to brace for impact. Such injuries can range from sprains to fractures, often requiring medical treatment and physical therapy.
Main Street, with its combination of vehicle traffic, pedestrian crossings, and cyclists, has seen an increase in close calls and reported accidents. These environments highlight the need for clearer infrastructure—such as bike lanes, improved signage, and public awareness campaigns—to ensure safer conditions for all.
Victims of e-bike or vehicle collisions often face not only physical recovery but also financial and emotional stress. Hospital bills, missed work, and navigating insurance claims can quickly become overwhelming without proper support.
