Electric carts are very quiet and she never heard it coming up behind her.
Thank goodness it was not broken but it was badly bruised. Again, walk facing traffic so you can see what is coming toward you.

Am I missing something here? Perhaps you can stick around long enough to explain how walking with one's back to the nearly silent electric bike doesn't make one more vulnerable?
