Background.
Between 2005 and 2012, annual sales of E-bikes in Switzerland increased from 1,792 to 52,941.
This continuous and rapid transition from human-powered bicycles to an electric bicycle technology may indicate the increasing demand for low-cost transportation technology in combination with a healthy lifestyle.
Material and Methods.
In the present study, from April 2012 to September 2013, we retrospectively analysed E-bike accidents treated in the Emergency Department of our hospital by focusing on the following parameters: age, gender, time, period, and cause of the accident, as well as injury and outcome.
Results.
Patients were predominantly male.
The mean age of injured E-cyclists was 47.5 years.
The main causes of injury were self-accident.
Most injuries were to the head/neck.
The mean ISS was 8.48.
The outcome showed that 9 patients were treated as outpatients, 9 were inpatients, and 5 patients were kept in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Only six patients underwent surgery (S).
Discussion.
This is the first attempt to evaluate E-bike injuries in Switzerland in an acute hospital setting.
Since there is increasing popular preference for E-bikes as means of transportation and injuries to the head or neck are prevalent among E-cyclists, the hazard should not to be underestimated.
