    The “why” is because they’re becoming more common. The more people that use them, the more injuries there will be. That is true of any type of activity where injury is possible. eBikes are awesome, despite the fact that someone can get hurt doing it. Someone can get injured riding roller skates, or skiing too, but we still do it.
