The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission analyzed eight years of NEISS data, from 2017 through 2024, and found that nearly 55 percent of e-bike rider fatalities involved a collision with a car or truck. Pedestrian-involved deaths accounted for just 6 percent, underscoring that motor vehicles remain the dominant danger on shared roads.

Out here in the States, plenty of roads still treat bike lanes as an afterthought. In Oakland I see a car-versus-e-bike story pop up almost weekly, so 55 percent honestly feels low to me. Six percent for pedestrians tells you the real threat is us behind the wheel — and that mindset has to change before this number drops.

I was on the fence about buying an e-bike, and this article made me a little nervous. Guess I'll be picky about which roads I ride.

Most streets near me just have a faded bike lane and nothing else. This isn't someone else's problem.

Eight years of data probably means it's crept up gradually each year. I'd like to see the year-by-year trend too.

NEISS data comes from hospital reports, so if anything the real numbers are probably higher, not lower.

55% cars, 6% pedestrians — I expected cars to account for like 80%, so this is actually lower than I thought.

Even if that number looks low, it apparently includes crashes with parked cars too, so the real risk is probably worse.
