Raja, who is executive vice chair of emergency medicine at Mass General Brigham, said injured older riders he treats often spontaneously decided to rent an e-bike.
“They will walk out of a building and see a rental and say, ‘I will use one of these,’” he said. “That spontaneity means they don’t have a helmet or much experience.”
Yeah I have a friend who owns one that is much more powerful than a motorbike. Dude gets in full biker gear (including backplate and motorcycling helmet) to drive it at full power
I see so many super old people on ebikes and non of them wear a helmet, ever. I saw 2 blood puddles at the side of the road with an old person and a bicycle on the side of the road in the past two years.
So, skill issue.
Remind me of this video https://youtu.be/2JYJF9L5YW4
the fuck is going through their head, other than a steel pole
Finite amounts of blood.
Some are close to light motorbikes too. Hey gramps, go drive a motorbike without helmet or knowledge!!

That seemed very on purpose.
