E-bike crash risk eight times higher than e-scooters, new study shows

E-scooters have often been identified as more dangerous than electric bikes, but the picture changes when they are compared on equal terms, according to new research

E-bikes carry a much greater crash risk than e-scooters

E-scooters are often portrayed as more dangerous than e-bicycles but new research from Chalmers University of Technology has found that e-bikes carry a substantially higher crash risk than e-scooters when exposure is properly accounted for. Based on trip distance, the risk of injury was calculated to be over eight times higher for e-bicycles than for e-scooters.
