Electronic mountain bikes (EMTBs) are becoming more common and can attract a different demographic to traditional mountain bikes. The difference in bike design could lead to a differing injury profile. This study examined acute EMTB injuries, an unstudied area.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A voluntary online survey collected data on EMTB injuries sustained by riders in the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales.

The median age of participants was 49 y (range, 20\u201367 y), and respondents were predominantly male (males 63%, females 35%, other 2%). Common injuries were superficial skin injuries (42%), mainly to the limbs. The study recorded 7 fractures to the limbs and 7 to the head and trunk. Most injuries were sustained from collisions or obstacles (49%). Most occurred traveling downhill (63%) on blue graded single tracks (65%), and 22% injuries occurred whilst traveling uphill. Injury management were spread across self-managed (44%), Emergency Department care (31%) and other health providers (26%). In the 7-d period following the injury 59% of riders experienced moderate to severe pain, and 50% were unable to participate in MTB riding.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Electronic mountain biking participants have a similar injury profile to traditional mountain bikers, but their demographics may differ.
