🚲 E-bike injuries surge
 
A donut chart illustrating the distribution of body regions treated for e-bike injuries in emergency departments from 2024 to 2025. The head, face, and neck account for the largest share at 32.4%, followed by shoulder/arm/elbow (18.8%), leg/knee (18.6%), hand/wrist/finger (11.4%), torso/trunk (10.4%), foot/ankle/toe (6.2%), and other injuries (2.3).
Data: NEISS. Chart: Brad Jennings/Axios

E-bike sales in the U.S. have more than quadrupled over the past five years, but a spike in ownership has also meant a spike in injuries — especially among young people.

  • About 41% of all emergency visits for e-bike injuries in 2024 and 2025 involved patients ages 10 to 19, Axios' Brad Jennings reports from National Electronic Injury Surveillance System estimates.
