To examine the rising casualty rate related to electric bicycle usage.
Analysis of the Hangzhou Police Bureau's data on electric-bicycle-related injuries and deaths.
Hangzhou, China, 2004-2008. PATIENTS OR SUBJECTS: Electric-bicycle riders.
Electric-bicycle-related casualty rates in Hangzhou from 2004 to 2008.
There was a significant average annual increase in electric-bicycle-related casualty rates of 2.7 per 100,000 population (95% CI 1.5 to 3.9, p=0.005). At the same time, overall road traffic and manual-bicycle-related deaths and injuries decreased.
As it is difficult to ban the use of electric bicycles in China, laws, rules and regulations need to be reinforced and strengthened. New regulations should be created for the safety of electric bicycle riders and others on the road, and mandatory helmet use should be considered.

2004 年至 2008 年杭州市与电动自行车相关的伤亡率。
电动自行车相关伤亡率呈显著平均年增长率 2.7/10 万(95%CI1.5 至 3.9,p=0.005)。与此同时,整体道路交通和普通自行车事故相关的死亡和受伤人数有所减少。
由于在中国很难禁止电动自行车的使用,因此需要加强法律、法规。应制定新的规定以保障电动自行车骑手和道路上其他人的安全,并考虑强制使用头盔。
