Description
Janet Stotko, a Minnesota resident, survived a severe e-bike accident, leading to brain damage and hospitalization. Now recovered, she advocates for stricter e-bike laws due to the surge in injuries and popularity of these vehicles. E-bike injuries have nearly doubled since 2017, with kid injuries in San Diego increasing by 300%. Federal rules treat most e-bikes like regular bikes, but states are implementing speed caps and age limits. Stotkos case highlights the need for clearer regulations and safer riding practices, as e-bike rules vary across states.
