If a driver hits you, you can bring a claim against that driver, and your own household auto policy\u2019s PIP may help with medical bills, although insurers sometimes dispute PIP for riders of motorized devices. Because e-bikes and scooters do not need insurance, getting hurt by another rider, or by a defective battery or brake, raises different questions about who pays.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\"

id=\"How_Florida_law_classifies_e-bikes_and_scooters\"><\/span>How Florida law classifies e-bikes and scooters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Florida Statutes \u00a7 316.003 defines an electric bicycle as a bicycle with fully operable pedals, a seat and an electric motor of less than 750 watts, in one of three classes based on how the motor assists and its top assisted speed. Under \u00a7 316.20655, an e-bike rider has all the rights and duties of a bicycle rider, and no driver license, registration or insurance is required. Motorized scooters and other micromobility devices, including many rental scooters, are covered by \u00a7 316.2128, which also gives riders the rights and duties of bicycle riders, while letting cities and counties regulate where they may be used.<\/p>\n<p>That means drivers must give e-bike and scooter riders the same care they owe cyclists, including at least three feet of clearance when passing, and riders must follow the traffic laws that apply to bicycles.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"margin:24px 0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fiolinjurylaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/shared-electric-scooters-on-sidewalk.jpg\" alt=\"Shared electric scooters parked on a sidewalk\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#666\">Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Scooters_on_the_sidewalk.jpg\">EHFXC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\">CC BY-SA 4.0<\/a>, via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_causes_of_e-bike_and_scooter_crashes\"><\/span>Common causes of e-bike and scooter crashes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>A driver turning right across a bike lane, or turning left into an oncoming rider.<\/li>\n<li>A driver opening a car door into the rider\u2019s path.<\/li>\n<li>Drivers pulling out of driveways and parking lots without looking for faster-moving riders.<\/li>\n<li>Potholes, broken pavement or debris that a scooter\u2019s small wheels cannot handle.<\/li>\n<li>Brake failure, battery fires or frames and stems that break.<\/li>\n<li>Collisions with pedestrians or other riders on crowded sidewalks and trails.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because e-bikes are faster than ordinary bicycles, drivers often misjudge how quickly a rider is approaching. Riders also sit low and are easy to miss in mirrors.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_pays_your_medical_bills\"><\/span>Who pays your medical bills?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Florida\u2019s PIP law may help even when you were not in a car. Under \u00a7 627.736, PIP covers a named insured and relatives living in the household who are struck by a motor vehicle while \u201cnot an occupant of a self-propelled vehicle.\u201d A regular bicycle rider fits that rule, but an insurer may argue that a motorized e-bike or scooter is a self-propelled vehicle, so PIP for these riders is not guaranteed. If PIP applies, your own household auto policy may pay a share of your medical bills and lost wages, regardless of fault. If you do not own a car and no one in your household has a Florida auto policy, the PIP of the vehicle that struck you may apply in some situations. For more detail, read about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiolinjurylaw.com\/en\/blog\/pip-vs-health-insurance-florida\/\">PIP vs health insurance in Florida<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>PIP has limits, so serious injuries often require a claim against the at-fault driver\u2019s bodily injury liability insurance, and possibly your uninsured motorist coverage. To recover pain and suffering from a driver, Florida generally requires an injury that meets the threshold in \u00a7 627.737, such as a permanent injury.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"margin:24px 0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fiolinjurylaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/electric-bikes-fort-lauderdale-florida.jpg\" alt=\"Row of shared electric bikes near the beach in Fort Lauderdale, Florida\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#666\">Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Electric_Wheels_in_Fort_Lauderdale,_Florida.jpg\">Austin Kirk<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\">CC BY 2.0<\/a>, via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_another_rider_or_a_product_is_to_blame\"><\/span>When another rider or a product is to blame<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you were hurt by another e-bike or scooter rider, there is no required insurance for that rider. A claim may still be possible against the rider personally, and some homeowner\u2019s or renter\u2019s policies cover liability for e-bike use while others exclude motorized devices. If a rental scooter or bike malfunctioned, the rental company\u2019s maintenance records and the device\u2019s trip data may become important evidence. Read the rental app\u2019s terms carefully, since they may include notice deadlines or arbitration clauses.<\/p>\n<p>When a battery catches fire, a brake fails or a part breaks under normal use, the manufacturer, importer or seller may be liable under product liability law. Keep the device and all parts, chargers and receipts; do not throw anything away or send it for repair before it can be inspected.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Helmets_and_comparative_fault\"><\/span>Helmets and comparative fault<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Florida requires riders under 16 to wear a helmet on a bicycle, and that rule is often applied to e-bikes. Adults are not required to wear one, but insurers may argue that not wearing a helmet made a head injury worse. Florida uses modified comparative fault under \u00a7 768.81, so a rider who was partly at fault can still recover a reduced amount unless found more than 50% responsible.
