E-bike injuries among children surge as doctors call for urgent safety measures

In Massachusetts, emergency department doctors have reported a dramatic rise in serious injuries among children caused by electric bikes and scooters. The increase, estimated at tenfold compared to last year, has raised concerns about the safety of young riders, many of whom are not yet of legal driving age. Medical professionals are advocating for stricter regulations, including age limits and speed restrictions, to address the growing number of e-bike-related injuries.
