By studying data from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), researchers at New York University School of Medicine found that riding an e-bike had deleterious effects on health. Because if this type of bike allows you to cover longer distances, then to be in better shape, it also causes more internal damage.
In their study, published in the Injury prevention review, the researchers recognize that more traditional cyclists go to the emergency room, simply because this practice is more developed. But the type of injury differs depending on the two-wheeler. eBike cyclists are more likely to suffer internal injuries, mainly because they ride faster.
They also note that the number of pedestrians taken to the emergency room after being hit by an electric bicycle was increasing, as this practice develops. They insist on the need to implement prevention policies.
