What Should E-Bike Riders Know About Road Safety?
E-bike riders have less physical protection than people traveling inside motor vehicles, which can increase the risk of injury during a collision. The severity of harm can depend on vehicle speed, the point of contact, and whether the rider falls onto the roadway.
Visibility is especially important when bicycles and motor vehicles share the same roads. Riders can improve their visibility by using required lighting and reflective equipment, while drivers should carefully check for bicycles before turning or changing lanes.
Wearing a properly fitted helmet can also help reduce the risk of serious head injuries. Both drivers and cyclists should follow traffic signals and remain alert to changing roadway conditions.
