Cranio-cervical and traumatic brain injury patterns —do they differ between electric bicycle, bicycle, and motorcycle-induced accidents?

ConclusionThe overall pattern of head and cervical injuries in E-bikers resembles more to that of motorcyclists than that of bicyclists. As they are used by a more senior population, multiple risk factors apply in terms of complications and secondary intracranial bleeding. Our study suggests that preventive measures should be reinforced, i.e., use of helmets to prevent from intracranial injury.
