Riders of electric bikes enjoy less protection compared to occupants of cars or trucks. Collisions with larger vehicles can result in serious injuries, particularly if the rider is ejected from the motorcycle. Urban intersections heighten the danger as traffic can approach from multiple directions. Drivers could be turning, parking, passing through, or navigating around slower road users.
