E-Bike Speeds Are Killing Riders | Tucson News

E-bikes are zooming into danger zones — emergency rooms are flooded with severe injuries as riders race at speeds up to 28 mph, often without helmets rated for the force. Trauma surgeon Dr. Collin Stewart warns these aren’t just bikes; they’re high-speed machines causing skull fractures, broken bones, and torso trauma. With minimal regulations and only a third of riders wearing proper gear, safety falls on the rider — think of it like handing a motorcycle to someone untrained. Education and smart choices are your only defense against becoming another ER statistic. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
