What is an E-Bike?
Any bicycle with an electric motor used to help propel the bicycle is considered an e-bike. Most e-bikes will automatically assist the bicyclist when riding uphill by putting more power behind each pedal rotation, making it possible to traverse steep terrain without tiring. Some e-bikes actually have a hand pedal on the handlebar that can be manually pressed, activating the electronic motor on-demand. When traveling under the power of an e-bike’s electric motor, a bicyclist can typically reach speeds ranging between 15 and 25 miles per hour depending on the make, model, and brand of e-bike.
Who is Liable for Your E-Bike Accident?
Our law firm represents e-bike riders who have been hurt in accidents at no fault of their own. As such, a crucial first step is understanding which party is the root cause of your e-bike accident.
Liable parties in e-bike accident claims may be:
- Motorists: Perhaps the greatest danger to an e-bicyclist on the roads of Tampa are motorists in full-sized vehicles. Just as it is with typical bicycle accidents, an e-bike accident can be caused by a negligent motorist refusing to share the road with an e-bicyclist. Some motorists do not even see an e-bike in the lane next to them because they are absentmindedly looking for a larger vehicle, like a truck or sedan.
- Pedestrians: Negligent pedestrians can also put e-bicyclists at serious risk of an accident and injury by not paying attention while walking down the street or shopping. For example, in areas that permit e-bikes on sidewalks, pedestrians must be careful while exiting storefronts that have a door that swings outward. Otherwise, they could strike an e-bike rider as they leave.
- E-bike manufacturers: We are also interested in investigating e-bike accident claims that originate from an e-bike defect. Faulty brakes and electric motors could cause even the most experienced e-bike rider to get into an accident. If you were riding an e-bike and the engine overpowered itself out of your control, or the brakes failed to bring you safely to a halt, let us know.
