The proportion of cyclists killed or seriously injured while hiring an e-bike, such as those provided by Lime, Forest or Transport for London, increased from one per cent of all cyclist injuries in 2017 to 17 per cent by May last year.

Exactly. I would suggest that the hire bike riders tend not to wear helmets, and are therefore at more risk of serious head injuries, regardless of how careful they are.
If you think about it, it’d be super crazy if you put thousands of ebikes without helmets onto the streets and found that injuries didn’t increase. People are far too casual about risking brain damage. Even if I was stupid and I knew it, I’d still take care of my brain!
