The Electric-Bike Conundrum

How many pedestrians and bikers have been injured and/or killed by electric bikers? How does that compare to cars and trucks? Wouldn't that information be helpful in thinking through whether there is any problem at all here?

The population of ebike riders is tiny but growing rapidly. It seems like that might make it difficult to measure relative injury rates accurately.

5,000+ pedestrians killed by vehicles in 2015. But let's start worrying about e-bikes!
