For those riding the fastest e-bikes, that speed is immediately accessible with the assistance of an electric motor. That speed can mean accidents, and more significant injuries.“You have a body that is moving at a rate of speed that is much greater than that of a pedaled bicyclist. That kinetic energy has to be disbursed somewhere, and it ends up being dispersed inside of the body,” said Dr. Kelly Willman.Willman, a trauma surgeon and the trauma medical director at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City, said every summer has its characteristic cause of injury and this year it’s e-bikes. “As of July, we’ve had a 60% increase compared to 2024,” Willman said in a recent interview.
