Statistics on ebike related injuries are likely to be messy because of changing demographics of the users. One might suppose that different classes of users might get into different types of accidents, and the consequences of those accidents might be different. Elderly users might have more low speed, single vehicle accidents, but a higher incidence of fractures per accident due to osteoporosis. Delivery riders might be expected to have higher rates of bike-car and bike-pedestrian encounters. The trick will be adequately analyzing the data to develop traffic regulations that help all bike riders
