E-bikes and scooters are popping up everywhere, with commuters, students, and even kids zipping around town. Their convenience, affordability, and eco-friendly appeal have led to a surge in use across cities and neighborhoods nationwide. Unfortunately, with this rise in popularity has also come a significant increase in accidents and injuries.
While many e-bikes and scooters are marketed as safe and easy to use, defects, poor maintenance, and limited regulation can create serious hazards. Problems like faulty brakes, battery issues, and unstable designs have all been linked to crashes causing severe injuries. Higher speeds, inexperience, and distracted riders or drivers further increase the risk of serious accidents.
We’re starting to see more cases involving e-bikes and scooters, underscoring the importance of holding manufacturers and distributors accountable when unsafe products put riders at risk. Recently, we’ve settled cases involving both faulty equipment and collisions with motor vehicles.
As e-bikes and scooters continue to grow in popularity, it’s more important than ever for riders to stay aware of the potential dangers and for companies to prioritize safety over rushing products to market.
