ForwardE2025 TIEP Module 4: E-bikes
The rising popularity of electric bicycles (e-bikes) has brought a corresponding increase in pediatric injuries, prompting closer examination by researchers. Recent studies document a range of harms, including head and extremity trauma, higher injury severity compared with conventional bicycles, and even electrical flash burns from batteries. Analyses of emergency department visits and trauma center data reveal that hospitalization rates are notably higher for e-bike injuries, while helmet use remains alarmingly low. Collectively, these findings highlight the urgent need for improved safety measures, public awareness, and preventive strategies to protect children engaging in e-bike use.
