What to Do After an e-Bike or Electric Scooter Accident
Navigating a micromobility accident can be tough, especially as the victim. Here are some first steps to take to help you get through the immediate aftermath:
- Call 911 if you or someone else is injured. If no one is hurt, contact the local police to report the crash.
- Move out of the way of traffic if the road is busy. However, you can take photos of your scooter and the car that hit you first if traffic isn’t an issue.
- Get the insurance and contact information of the driver, as well as the contact info of any witnesses who were present.
- Talk to law enforcement to give your account of the incident, but avoid giving a recorded statement to insurance. If you need to report the accident with your own insurance company, be brief and stick to the facts.
- If you weren’t taken to the hospital after the crash, follow up with a doctor’s appointment or visit the emergency room after the scene is cleared, even if you feel fine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to wear a helmet when riding an e-Bike or electric scooter in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts helmet requirements depend on the type of vehicle. Every operator or passenger on a moped—legally called a “motorized bicycle”—must wear approved protective headgear, and an operator must be at least 16 and possess a valid driver’s license or learner’s permit.
Operators of motorized scooters, including qualifying electric scooters, must also wear approved protective headgear regardless of age and must have a valid driver’s license or learner’s permit; passengers are not permitted.
Qualifying electric bicycles are generally regulated like conventional bicycles, so riders and passengers age 16 or younger must wear a helmet. Although Massachusetts law does not currently require every adult e-bike rider to wear one, helmets are strongly recommended for riders of all ages.
What kind of injuries can an e-Bike or electric scooter accident cause?
Common injuries from e-Bike or electric scooter accidents include:
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
- Neck and spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Internal bleeding
- Cuts and bruises
- Road rash
- Death
Because micromobility devices 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 an electric scooter or e-Bike?
In Massachusetts, the at-fault party in a car versus electric scooter or e-Bike 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 e-Bike or electric scooter accident?
Massachusetts has a three-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, including electric scooter and e-Bike accidents.
