Electric bicycles (e-bikes) have exploded in popularity across California, offering a fast, affordable, and eco-friendly way to get around. Unfortunately, with speeds up to 28 mph and minimal rider protection, e-bike accidents often result in devastating injuries. In fact, Orange County saw a 500% rise in e-bike crashes in just one year.
If you or a loved one has been injured in an e-bike accident, you may be facing overwhelming medical bills, time away from work, and ongoing pain. At Traut Firm, our Orange County e-bike accident attorneys fight for injured riders and their families, working tirelessly to hold negligent drivers, municipalities, and manufacturers accountable.

California classifies e-bikes into three categories, each with unique rules:
Local governments may impose stricter rules, so always check city and county regulations.
Many e-bike crashes are the result of negligence by drivers, unsafe infrastructure, or defective equipment. Common causes include:
California’s comparative negligence law means you may still recover damages even if you were partially at fault, though your share of responsibility may reduce your compensation.
Because riders have little protection, e-bike crashes often lead to severe injuries, including:
These injuries often require emergency treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
If you are injured in an e-bike crash:
Seek medical attention immediately, even if symptoms seem minor.
Call the police and request a report.
Document the scene – take photos of the vehicles, your e-bike, any injuries, and the road conditions.
Collect witness information – names and phone numbers.
Preserve your e-bike as evidence.
Avoid admitting fault or giving statements to insurers.
Contact an e-bike accident lawyer before dealing with insurance companies.
