With electric bicycles (e-bikes) becoming a fixture of mobility, recreation, and commuting, a new study published in Wilderness & Environmental Medicine (WEM) offers a much-needed exploration of the injury risks associated with this fast-growing mode of transportation. Focusing on electronic mountain biking (EMTB), the study provides detailed insights that are broadly applicable to e-bike use, addressing an important gap in public understanding of e-bike related injuries.
