    According to a University of California San Francisco (UCSF) study, injuries involving e-bikes surged more than 3,000% across the country between 2017 and 2022, and e-scooter injuries jumped more than 560% during the same time.

    Something tells me that the number isn’t as significant as it seems when news use percent instead of number. 3 injuries with 300 riders and 90 injuries with 50k riders is 3000% surge, i too know how to play with numbers.
