Electric bikes and electric scooters are becoming increasingly popular across Florida, especially among children and teens. When a rider collides with a vehicle, loses control, or strikes a pedestrian, the consequences can be serious. What may seem like a convenient way to get around can result in broken bones, head injuries, and other life-changing harm.
At Kushel Law Group, we help injured individuals and families understand their legal options after an e-bike or e-scooter accident. If someone else's negligence contributed to your injuries, our team can help you understand your rights and pursue the compensation you may be entitled to.
The numbers are concerning, particularly for South Florida families.
According to a statewide analysis of Florida crash data, reported e-bike crashes involving fatal, incapacitating, or non-incapacitating injuries increased from 158 in 2021 to 825 in 2024. That's more than a fivefold increase in three years.
South Florida is seeing a similar trend. Memorial Healthcare System reported a 178% increase in e-bike and e-scooter-related trauma cases from 2024 to 2025. In its 2025 data, 44% of injured patients were under 18, and 82% were not wearing helmets.

If you or your child has been injured in an e-bike or e-scooter accident, taking a few important steps can help protect your health and your potential claim. Seek medical attention first, report the accident when appropriate, and document the scene if you can do so safely. Take photographs, collect witness information, and preserve any available video footage or information about the bike or scooter involved. Always keep records of medical treatment, expenses, missed work, and other ways the injury has affected your life.
