E-bike Accidents in Hawaii

On April 30, 2026, there was another serious e-bike accident in Honolulu near the intersection of King Street and Pensacola Street. Reports indicate that the driver of a truck may have gone through a red light and struck the biker who was seriously injured. As we have more alternative methods of transportation on the road in Hawaii (e-bikes, e-scooters, mopeds, pedal bikes) it is important for drivers to be aware of them. Drivers owe a duty of care to other expected users of the road. If a bike has the right of way drivers must yield to them and respect their rights to be on the road. To do this, drivers need to train themselves to look for everyone on the road, and not just other vehicles. Check twice, save a life.
