The very first question or argument which comes in mind when we talk about electric scooters and electric bikes is about safety. If any of you have noticed, the weight of an electric bike is less as compared to other conventional vehicle options. Also, most of the electric bike models are sleek and slim in looks. The reason being, an electric scooter has less wiring and components as compared to your regular two-wheeler running on petrol or a diesel source which have a complex mechanism.
The slim look is a double edged sword as many people even assume this as a reason to the fact that electric bikes are light in terms of weight. It is like, 'how on earth would such a small and compact vehicle provide safety to us? Size is taken as a general stand point for safety as well which is ideally wrong as the quality of metal used is what affects the safety of a rider and not necessarily the size of the vehicle. Also, the point that tilts the discussion and confirms the above statement is that most of the accidents which happen are either due to rash driving (rash driving can be done by us or the other driver in question) or through non-compliance of safety rules and instructions in general.

It is a general acceptance that heavily built vehicles are more safety oriented but this is not always true when all the points are clearly discussed along with proper reasoning. As it is, the best answer comes when facts are discussed. Many electric scooter models are slim in design which makes it easy to use and helps clear the parking woes as well.
While talking about safety in a broad perspective, not only the details are checked with respect to accidents (which might happen) but also details about general safety and practices are confirmed before commercial manufacturing. Generally speaking, it can be easily concluded that it is just a myth that electric scooters do not posses much of the safety elements which form the compulsory aspects of standard 2 wheeled motor vehicle.
Lastly, electric mopeds and bikes have been tried and tested by many bike enthusiasts and also by many transport bodies and they have accepted the vehicles' credibility. Discussing safety aspects with due consideration to size and durability of all types of electric bikes and even electric bicycles does help us clear many of the perceptions.
