Following a thriving delivery business and constantly improving road infrastructure and vehicle technologies, electric bicycles (e-bikes) are becoming one of the most popular modes of road transport in China. Although e-bikes are flexible and cost efficient, they contribute significantly to on-road collisions in China. Therefore, this study focuses on the traffic safety of e-bikes in China. Rather than following conventional engineering approaches, this study applies a sociotechnical analysis of the system, while focusing on the entities that significantly influence e-bike safety. Applying Rasmussen's risk management framework (RMF) and its associated Accimap methodology shapes the systematic analysis of e-bike collisions in China. This study identifies and discusses a general pattern of the contribution of social entities to e-bike collisions. As such, the authors developed a generic model of e-bike collisions in China. Couriers were considered important in this domain, and their status in the system was discussed. Moreover, recommendations have been proposed to improve e-bike traffic safety in China.
