Rising E-Bike Injuries Among Children and Teens Raise Safety Concerns
The incidence of injuries related to e-bikes and e-scooters among children and teens is increasing, according to healthcare professionals. Dr. Cornelia Griggs and Caitlin Coit from Mass General Brigham for Children report a significant rise in severe injuries, including traumatic brain injuries and fractures, associated with these vehicles. The trend is attributed to the growing popularity of e-bikes and e-scooters, which can reach high speeds, posing greater risks than traditional bicycles. The lack of appropriate safety gear, such as full motorcycle helmets, exacerbates the severity of injuries.
