E-cyclists are a growing population on urban streets, and their safety is of paramount concern. Unfortunately, little is known about their safety-related behaviors. This study sought to address this issue by conducting a detailed analysis of e-cyclist behavior at various locations in the city of Boulder, Colorado. The results showed that e-cyclists are more likely than traditional cyclists to ride on sidewalks and in crosswalks, and they are also more likely to ride against traffic. These findings have important implications for public policy and education efforts aimed at promoting safe cycling behavior.

These findings have important implications for public policy and education efforts aimed at promoting safe cycling behavior.
E-bikes are more vulnerable than traditional cyclists because they are often less experienced and because they are riding heavier, less maneuverable bikes.
Safety-related behaviors of e-bike
E-bike users are a growing population on urban streets, and their safety is of paramount concern. Unfortunately, little is known about their safety-related behaviors. The-bike users are more likely than traditional cyclists to ride on sidewalks and in crosswalks, and they are also more likely to ride against traffic. These findings have important implications for public policy and education efforts aimed at promoting safe cycling behavior.
As the number of e-bike users continues to grow, it is important to ensure that they are educated about safe cycling practices. Public policy and education efforts should be focused on reducing the risk of collision by encouraging e-bike users to ride in designated bike lanes and to follow the rules of the road.
Precautions to be taken while using e-bike
As a growing population on urban streets, e-bike users need to take extra precaution while riding on sidewalks and in crosswalks. They are also more vulnerable than traditional cyclists because they are often less experienced and because they are riding heavier, less maneuverable bikes. Public policy and education efforts should be focused on reducing the risk of collision by encouraging e-bike users to ride in designated bike lanes and to follow the rules of the road. In addition, e-bike users should be educated about the importance of wearing reflective clothing and using lights when riding at night. By taking these precautions, we can help to make urban streets safer for everyone.
Safety measures while using e-bike on urban streets
While e-bike users are more vulnerable than traditional cyclists, there are a number of measures that can be taken to reduce the risk of collision and promote safe cycling practices. Public policy and education efforts should be focused on encouraging ebike users to ride in designated bike lanes and to follow the rules of the road. In addition, e-bike users should be educated about the importance of wearing reflective clothing and using lights when riding at night. By taking these precautions, we can help to make urban streets safer for everyone
Conclusion
E-bike users are a growing population on urban streets, and their safety is of paramount concern. This study provides valuable insights into the safety-related behaviors of e-bike users and highlights the need for public policy and education efforts aimed at promoting safe cycling practices. As the number of e-bike users continues to grow, it is imperative that we take steps to ensure their safety.
