Abstract— This research study delves into the analysis of gender-based patterns in two-wheeler electric vehicle (EV) riding
with respect to accidents. As electric mobility gains momentum worldwide, it becomes essential to understand the potential dif-
ferences in accident rates, risk factors, and safety practices between male and female riders. The objective of this research is to
identify and compare accident trends, driving behaviors, and risk perceptions associated with male and female two-wheeler EV
riders, providing valuable insights to enhance safety measures and promote gender-specific accident prevention strategies. The
research employs a mixed-method approach, combining the analysis of historical accident data and surveys. Accident data are
collected from reliable sources, including traffic authorities, police reports, and insurance records, to uncover patterns in acci-
dent occurrence, severity, and contributing factors specific to each gender. Additionally, surveys and questionnaires are distrib-
uted to representative samples of male and female electric two-wheeler riders to capture driving behaviors, safety practices, and
accident experiences.
