What Risks Are Associated With E-Bike Use in Urban Intersections? E-bike riders frequently share roadways with automobiles, particularly at intersections where traffic converges from multiple directions. In these locations, drivers and riders face a higher crash risk if they can’t see each other clearly. Speed disparities between e-bikes and vehicles can also impact reaction times. A cyclist may enter an intersection as a motorist is turning or moving through it, leading to a possible conflict. Visibility is crucial, especially at night.
