I dunno if this qualifies for an motorized bicycle, but here is a link that shows how safe it can be and is highly dependent on the attitude of the rider, and how you ride your motorized bicycle. The article is for bicycles and not motorized bicycles, but it would be interesting to note that it's safer than staying in your living room as the statistics show... :)

always ride safe, but if you can't then at least try to heal fast painlessly...

I liked the article, but I want to know what changes Ken would have made to the article if he knew he was going to be killed on his bike. I guess there are somethings I'll just never know.

If you consider all the possible outcomes of leaving your house...you wouldn't.
If you consider all the things that can happen to you while building these bikes.. you wouldn't.
If you considered all the things that can happen to you will riding the bike... you wouldn't
also if you considered all the possibilities of eating ice cream you probably wouldn't either and im not even going to mention hot dogs.
