What happened to Dr. Adam Peck?
Adam Peck died from trauma sustained from a collision with an e-bike. It was after business hours and Adam was volunteering his time to attend a student meeting. As he was walking through campus to the meeting, Adam was struck by a cyclist illegally operating a motorized-ebike on a pedestrian path. Adam hit his head on the concrete pavement and never recovered.
The Dr. Adam Peck Foundation was created in memory of Dr. Adam Peck, who tragically lost his life in 2022 after being struck by an e-bike. What happened to Adam was preventable- and we are committed to ensuring it doesn’t happen to others.
Our mission is simple: to make our communities safer.
We work with colleges, policymakers, and organizations to raise awareness, advocate for stronger protections, and support legislation that keeps both riders and pedestrians safe.
Through research, advocacy, and awareness, we are advancing legislation to:
1. Establish clear insurance requirements for e-bikes and e-scooters
2. Create a nationwide sidewalk ban for these devices to protect pedestrians
We are currently working with legislators in Illinois and Texas to progress policies that we aim to expand nationally.
We recognize the many benefits of micromobility—affordability, accessibility, and sustainability. Our goal is not to remove these devices, but to ensure that as their use grows, safety grows with it—for riders and pedestrians alike.
By sharing Adam’s story, building partnerships, and driving policy change, we honor his legacy through action
We invite you to explore our progress, review our research, and join us by signing the petition on our home page.
Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can create safer roads, safer sidewalks, and safer communities.
