In this eye-opening interview, Travis points out that while items like e-bikes and other trendy tech or recreational gifts may be exciting to unwrap, they can also carry serious safety hazards if buyers don’t pay close attention to proper use, product quality, and potential injury risks.

Travis takes an even deeper dive into this topic in the latest episode of the Driving Change with Travis Patterson podcast, which focuses specifically on the growing dangers associated with kids’ e-bike use. E-bikes have exploded in popularity, yet many parents are unaware of how severe the injuries can be. In Episode 13, Travis breaks down the rise in e-bike crashes, the factors that make these incidents so dangerous, and the safety oversights putting young riders at risk. He also unpacks often-overlooked legal and insurance implications such as liability gaps, coverage issues, and what families should know if a child is injured or causes an accident.
