Personal injury due to an electric bike (e-bike) collision

E-bikes are becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands. Nevertheless, accidents are increasingly occurring due to these e-bikes. What does this mean for personal injury compensation in the event of an accident or collision?

Difference in e-bikes matters

Cyclists are extra protected in the event of accidents by the Dutch legislator, but this does not apply to all electric cyclists. Only e-bikes with pedal assistance up to 25 kilometers per hour receive extra protection. Like the drivers of regular bicycles, they do not have an electric drive. E-bikes that do have an electric drive fall under the moustache or moped category. They are therefore strong road users. This may sound complicated. That is why we are happy to work with you to see what this means for your compensation.

Hit by an e-bike as a pedestrian/cyclist

If you are a pedestrian or cyclist hit by an e-bike with an electric drive, you are always entitled to compensation. Even if you're responsible for the traffic accident. If you have been hit by an e-bike without an electric drive, the normal liability rules apply.

When a motor vehicle driver was hit by an e-bike

Here, too, it depends on the nature of the e-bike. Is it an e-bike without an electric drive? Then the cyclist is seen as a vulnerable road user. This has consequences for compensation. If the e-bike does have an electric drive, the normal liability rules apply.

Hit by an e-bike as a pedestrian/cyclist

After a collision with an e-bike, you can suffer all kinds of injuries. Think of minor abrasions, bruises and simple broken bones. But there can also be more serious injuries.
