Cyclist almost hit by a car
New e-mobility - what you need to know
"369 road accidents with personal injury (2022: 380) involved a cyclist (cyclist = bicycle and pedelec), 304 of which occurred within built-up areas (2022: 303).

Four people (2022: 3) were killed as cyclists, 55 (2022: 74) were seriously injured and 316 (2022: 321) were slightly injured. The number of cyclists involved in accidents fell by 5.8% from 398 to 375 in 2023 - this is an extract from the road accident statistics published for 2023 and shows how important the issue of road safety is - especially for cyclists.

We want you to always get home safely - whether on foot, on two, four or six wheels, motorized or non-motorized. In road traffic, this means for everyone: watch out, keep your eyes open, drive carefully and don't be afraid to take a little too much of a risk.

New means of transportation such as pedelecs, S-pedelecs, e-bikes and e-scooters in particular require safe operation and a good "knowledge of the features". And to prevent "get on, ride off, crash, fall", it helps to know the special features and characteristics of the vehicles.
