Orlando details crash data, emergency room visits of people riding e-bikes, e-scooters



Over half of Orange County emergency room visit for micro mobility riders were of teen 19 years old and younger, leaders reported during an Aug. 10 meeting. These numbers reveal the rider to be at fault in most crashes as the Orlando Police Chief said most incidents involve juveniles. The city council is discussing what rules to put in place.

  1. In my opinion
    In cities with a larger population.
    A person
    15 years a under
    NOT ALOUD ON THE STREET.
    16 and older bike driver must be insured.
    If you have car insurance that needs to cover both car and bike.
    ALL BIKES ON THE ROAD
    Must be tagged.
    Must follow all road laws.
    NO BIKES ON HIGHWAYS
    If you dont like those rules move to smaller city.

  2. so dangerous definitely end of the world if we dont get rid of these, but if we keep letting people get away with real crimes we're saved

  3. Lawmakers need to wake up and realize these are motorcycles and should require the same licensing, registration, and insurance any other motor vehicle driver is required to have!!

  4. They are no more dangerous than a regular bike when used correctly. You’re either old or a liberal — those are the two kinds of people that want to ban everything

  5. If my kids were little now, they would not get an e-bike or scooter. They can't get exercise this way and these are dangerous. And I see kids not wearing helmets. What wrong with these parents?

  6. What about adults who can't get a licence?
    I'm legally blind (low vision) I don't have a licence, and I use an ebike to commute to the SunRail.
    We need bike lanes away from cars and pedestrians, just like other modern countries.

  7. The gut reaction should never be outlaw everything how bout more bike paths and age enforcement of current laws instead of making more laws when we’re not enforcing old laws … I thought we were different then Europe but every day it’s something else they need to outlaw in the name of safety weather it’s flock cameras ai or whatever you people will let the government do everything they want to you to control you in the name of safety and what did your four fathers say about just that ????? Come on patriots one of you has got to remember history class ??????

  8. Why don't these morons that are so old? Most normally that they have no idea what's popular. Why don't they check regular bike accidents and compare that to ebike accident?I guarantee you.There's way more bicycle accidents this all about cities lossing money on public transit

  9. I've worked as a courier in many different communities in Orlando. These young kids don't understand consequences. I have to be on high alert especially at times when schools let out. They don't obey traffic laws and pull out in front of me all the time.

  10. Don’t blame the tool for human error

    For an example, people tried saying guns kill people, but in reality, it takes a human being to pull the trigger to make anything happen , and if you were to hammer a nail into the wall in your swing and missing and hit your thumb, don’t blame the hammer because you are the one who swung, and if I put a E bike out in the street and say go ahead bike, create crashes create chaos. It’s simply not going to do anything because without a operator it’s nothing but a oversize paperweight, the main cause of these crashes are kids being too young to ride these type of butt, especially if you give one to a 12 year-old
    Compare to age 16, which is the legal limit for an operator to use a Ebike in the first place

    And nowadays, people try to force license and registration, but that violate federal law 107 319
    You cannot re-classify a E bike as a motor vehicle as long as if it falls under the three class categories such as class, one or class two or class three

    And stop getting Emoto’s mixed up with Ebikes they are very different

  11. Banks are trying to make money out this, so police departments and politicians are backing it even tho there's other things that are killing more kids every year. But the news will not cover anything that might impact their revenues 😂.

  12. Only pedal assist is legal in most areas. Just enforce the law. The problem is police won't do their job properly. It doesn't fit their criminal gang mentality.

  13. They should make all riders do a safety class before using them and possibly a ppl will know what do and not do as well as hearing less and less bout ppl killed or hurt on them this is a good idea as well as a class or something on hand signaling or perhaps blinkers so ppl know what way ones going vs surprise 😊

  14. They should be required to carry insurance at the bare minimum. Both personal, and liability if they hit someone, or damage property. Other than that let them have fun

  15. Students wouldn't need EBikes if Florida government hadn't stripped all their finances away to make kids walk miles upon miles because they have no buses.
