DES MOINES, Iowa – According to AAA Iowa, crashes related to e-bikes and scooters are up by more than 1,000%. That’s one reason they’re releasing a guide for parents and buyers. The E-Ride Ready Guide is designed to help riders and parents be informed. One area AAA officials emphasize is the importance of knowing what you’re buying. AAA and Iowa Bike Coalition officials say some e-motos, which have higher speeds than typical e-bikes, are being sold as regular e-bikes.
