The Department for Transport publishes road casualty statistics based on personal injury road collisions reported to the police via the STATS19 reporting system.

Electrically assisted pedal cycles are included in the pedal cycle category depending on their power output.

The table below shows the annual number of pedestrian casualties where they were in collision with a pedal cycle from 2003 to 2022 (the latest year that data is available for). There may also be other vehicles involved in the overall collision.
