E-Bike Crashes Are Getting Worse | Houston News

E-bikes are booming—but so are crashes and injuries. New data reveals that while e-bike accidents are rising sharply, they’re often more severe, with more head, neck, and facial trauma—including traumatic brain injuries. ER visits jumped over 100% between 2022 and 2024, and fatalities surged from zero in 2017 to 97 in 2024. Experts warn that speeds up to 20 mph, especially for younger riders, demand caution—and recommend consulting local bike shops for proper gear. Don’t confuse e-bikes with motorized e-motor bikes, which aren’t safe for kids in traffic-heavy areas. While e-bikes boost mobility and comfort, riders must prioritize safety to avoid serious consequences.
