Show Notes
Janet Stotko, a Minnesota woman, survived a severe e-bike accident, leading to her advocacy for stricter e-bike laws. E-bike injuries have surged, with crashes nearly doubling from 2017 to 2022 and kid injuries tripling in one city over four years. Stotko, now recovered, pushes for better regulations as federal law treats most e-bikes like regular bikes. States are responding with speed limits, helmet mandates, and licensing requirements. Riders should understand e-bike classes, wear helmets, stick to paths, use lights, and avoid speed modifications. Stotkos story fuels her quest for accountability as safety discussions continue nationwide.
