A man has died after his motorised bicycle hit a pole in Dublin on Monday night.
The incident occurred at Sallymount Avenue in Ranelagh at about 8.30pm on Monday.
The cyclist, a man in his 40s, was taken to St Vincent’s University Hospital in a critical condition after his motorised pedal cycle struck a pole, according to gardaí.
The man later died as a result of his injuries.
The road was closed temporarily to allow Forensic Collision Investigators to technically examine the scene, but it has since re-opened fully.
Gardaí are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.
Any road users who were travelling on the roads from the Baggot Street area to the Sandymount Avenue area between 7.45pm and 8.30pm and who may have camera footage, including dash-cam, are asked to make this footage available to gardaí.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Donnybrook garda station on 01 666 9200, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any garda station.
Concerns have been raised in recent years about the safety of e-bikes and e-scooters, with Government approving just last week legislation regulating their use.
