E-bike injuries are on the rise for children and teens

Doctors report that more children and teens are getting hurt while riding e‑bikes and e‑scooters. Some of these injuries are serious, such as broken bones or head trauma. The increase is linked to the growing popularity of electric bikes among young people. NPR interviewed Dr. Cornelia Griggs and Caitlin Coit from Mass General Brigham for Children Hospital about the trend.
