Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to wear a helmet when riding an electric bike or scooter in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, all individuals riding a moped must wear a DOT-approved helmet. The law defines a moped as “either a pedal bicycle with a helper motor or a non-pedal bicycle with a motor.” Additionally, all riders must be over the age of 16.
What kind of injuries can an eBike or scooter accident cause?
Common injuries from eBike or scooter accidents include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Neck and spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal bleeding
- Cuts and bruises
- Road rash
- Death
Because scooters and electric bikes provide little to no protection to the rider, any injuries from an accident are more likely to be severe or even catastrophic.
Who is liable in an accident between a car and a scooter or electric bike?
In Massachusetts, the at-fault party in a car versus scooter or eBike accident is typically the one whose negligence caused the crash. Liability can also fall on the manufacturer or rental company if a defective scooter or eBike caused or contributed to the collision.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim after an eBike or scooter accident?
Massachusetts has a three-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, including scooter and motorized bike accidents.
