How Dangerous Are E-Bikes for Kids? A Pediatric ER Doctor Explains Ebikes can be very dangerous for kids, and we are seeing a ton of news coverage of electric bike crashes. Are they as unsafe as the headlines sound? We are joined by Dr. Emily Greenwald, a pediatric emergency physician, mom of three, and someone who sees the consequences of crashes firsthand. We're going to talk about what she's seeing in the ER, why e-bikes have become so popular, what families should know before buying one, and what communities should do to make riding safer for everyone. I’m sure I’m going to rustle some feathers in the bike industry, but it’s all with the goal of getting more families on bikes - safely.
