    Over 1 fatal crash a day, about 2500 serious injuries every year in Massachusetts.

    BY CARS

    Keep your eye on the ball. Every e-bike is a car off the road.

      It absolutely socks she got run over by an ebike, and something should be done about it. Im glad she’s here to tell her story.

      If it was a car, there would be no story to tell. So prioritize work accordingly.

      Every e-bike is a car off the road.

      People by ebikes for leisure use as well, not just as a mode of transportation. I have two ebikes and they haven’t cut down my car use at all.
