They're flying down neighborhood streets. They’re taking over school parking lots. And they’re fueling some of the most heated parenting debates online.

E-bikes may look like bicycles, but many can reach motorcycle-like speeds without requiring a license, registration or formal training.

As their popularity has surged, so have the injuries. Between 2024 and 2026, Children's saw a 479% increase in e-bike-related injuries. The consequences can be severe, ranging from lacerations and broken bones to traumatic brain injuries, skull fractures, organ damage and even amputations.

In this episode, a mother recounts the terrifying moments after her son's e-bike collided with a moving car. Then, a Children’s pediatric emergency medicine physician shares what she's seeing on the front lines of a growing trend and what every parent should know before handing over the handlebars.

Whether you're shopping for an e-bike, already have one in your garage or have found yourself deep in a neighborhood social media debate, this episode cuts through the noise with something more valuable: the real stories behind the statistics.
