Safety Notes: Preventing E-Bike and Pedestrian Accidents
- Always wear a helmet when riding an e-bike or motorized scooter
- Follow traffic laws as e-bikes must obey the same rules as vehicles
- Avoid riding with multiple passengers unless the bike is designed for it, and make sure the passenger is also wearing a helmet
- Drivers should stay alert for e-bikes, especially at intersections
- Reduce e-bike speed in residential areas where visibility may be limited
- Avoid distractions such as phones while driving or riding
- Watch out for potholes and other potential hazards when driving or riding
- Use lights and reflective gear when riding in low visibility
E-bike and electric scooter accidents are common across Ontario, especially among younger riders. These vehicles can travel at high speeds but offer little protection in a collision. When a crash occurs, injuries are often severe, particularly when riders are sharing the road with larger vehicles.
