Motorcycle and Onewheel Accidents in Colorado
Accidents involving motorcycles and personal electric vehicles, such as Onewheels, are becoming increasingly common in Colorado. These incidents can lead to serious injuries due to the lack of protection for riders compared to those in traditional vehicles.
Key factors contributing to such accidents include:
- Visibility: Motorcycles and personal electric vehicles can be less visible to drivers, especially in low-light conditions or during busy traffic.
- Inexperience: Riders of both motorcycles and Onewheels may lack experience, which can lead to poor decision-making in high-risk situations.
- Road conditions: Uneven surfaces, debris, and poor weather can create hazardous conditions for riders.
