An e‑bike accident can occur suddenly and result in serious injuries, especially as electric bicycles become more popular on city streets and shared pathways. E‑bikes travel faster than traditional bicycles, increasing the risk of severe harm when collisions occur with cars, pedestrians, or road hazards.
