Episode Details

E-bike injuries in Riverside County are skyrocketing—with hospitalizations jumping from 224 in 2024 to 958 in 2025, and already 416 incidents this year alone. These high-powered bikes are causing severe trauma, especially among teens and young adults, with head injuries, broken ribs, and even collapsed lungs becoming common. Kids aged 10–14 saw hospital visits more than double, while 15–24-year-olds also faced a sharp rise. Fatalities have occurred too. Officials warn actual numbers may be even higher due to tracking gaps and urge riders to slow down, wear helmets, follow traffic laws, and get proper training—especially parents, who must ensure kids are ready before they ride.
