The STATS19 collection is overseen by the Standing Committee on Road Injury Collision Statistics (SCRICS) and changes are made via periodic reviews, the last of which was in 2018.

There are currently no plans to introduce a specific category for non-EAPC electric bikes; this will be considered as part of the next review of STATS19.
