Frequently Asked Questions
How does speed affect the severity of a crash involving an e-bike?
Higher speeds give drivers and riders less time to react and increase the force of any impact, which usually leads to more serious injuries, especially for someone on an e-bike who has little protection.
Why is distracted driving a particular risk at intersections?
Intersections require drivers to watch for crossing traffic, turning vehicles, and pedestrians or cyclists at the same time. A moment of distraction can mean missing a rider who has the right of way.
What should someone do immediately after a vehicle versus e-bike collision?
Call 911 if anyone is injured, stay at the scene, and avoid moving an injured rider unless there is an immediate danger. Exchange information and wait for law enforcement to document the crash.
