Doctors are sounding the alarm as e-bike injuries among kids surge—one hospital saw cases jump from just 3 in 2022 to 74 in 2024. NBC News talked to a physician about why this spike is happening and what it means for safety.

Editor’s Note: E-bikes are fun and convenient, but this sharp rise in injuries suggests kids (and parents) might not be fully aware of the risks—whether it’s speed, lack of protective gear, or inexperience. It’s a wake-up call for better safety measures before these accidents become even more common.
