I'm genuinely baffled it's not a several nines situation. I assume all road deaths involve cars

I bet it's the motorcycles skewing things a bit

We need to ban the use of statistics without a licence.

Because cars are used more than bikes (electric or otherwise)?

Because the safety of X has nothing at all to do with discussing the safety of Y, so small minded people will gawk at how large a number 99.5% is, without ever even stopping to ask if it's reasonable to compare those two things.

Because the safety of X [E-Bikes] has nothing at all to do with discussing the safety of Y [Deaths-from-cars] (I'm going to say this is "travel on public roads"), so small minded people will gawk at how large a number 99.5% is, without ever even stopping to ask if it's reasonable to compare those two things.

So, that's correct?
E-bikes are not the biggest threat to travelling on public roads.
And the article says this. There is a growing amount of people that would rather use a bike or e-bike than to drive.

And cars cause most of the deaths.

Glad we agree
