Streetsblog New York City
We talked a little bit about the data before — 560 collisions involving e-bikes, 795 involving stand-up e-scooters so far this year, so it’s up 28 percent.
Menin cited the above stats without mentioning that the majority of those deaths and injuries were people riding e-bikes, not people hit by people riding e-bikes.
The 17,434 injuries over seven years may seem like a big number, but there are about 50,000 annual traffic injuries in New York City.
Ditto this year’s “560 collisions involving e-bikes,” which add up to just .01 1 percent of the more than 48,000 total crashes in New York City in 2026 so far.
