Long scarves pose health risks in China

Several cases of people being seriously injured after their long scarves got
stuck in the wheels of their electric mopeds have been reported across
China, reports our Chinese-language sister paper Want Daily.
A ten-year-old girl was paralyzed after falling off an electric moped
because her long scarf was entangled in the vehicle's wheel in Handan City,
Hebei province. She could not move and had difficulty breathing after the
fall. Around 15 hours later, she was hospitalized and later transferred to
larger hospital for surgery. There, she was told she had broke her spine and
damaged her muscles. Despite the surgeries, the girl has to rely on machine
to breath now.
A woman in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, went into a coma after her scarf got
struck in the wheel of her electric moped, and on Nov. 8, a 7-year-old girl
was pulled off of a moped her mother was driving for a similar reason. The
girl was lucky though and only suffered from abrasions to her head.
A doctor in Shijiazhuang City, Hebei province said such accidents occur
every year as scarves can easily get stuck to various places such as the
elevator and bus doors as well as moped wheels. Police have warned people
against the dangers of long scarves.

No capes!
Seriously though, what does this have to do with electrics specifically.
Doesn't it apply to all mopeds, motorcycles and bikes?

At least that particular risk is basically gone with EVs. It's probably absent with most factory EVs, but conversions are another story. Lots of conversions still use belts. Some, like Wayne's pickups, retain the alternator. Others belt-drive a power steering pump or aircon compressor either with the main drive motor or, more commonly, with a smaller auxiliary motor. I think some converters even use a belt-driven vacuum pump for power brakes. Using any kind of moving-parts machinery with loose clothing or hair is just not a good idea. At least the headline in this news piece was Long scarves pose health risks in China, not Electric vehicles pose health risks in China. But the headline writer is nevertheless clue-challenged; it really should have been Long scarves around moving machinery pose health risks. (And not just in China. Duh.) I agree that the piece was marginally topical for the EVDL. However, it did give us the chance to discuss this worthwhile benefit for purpose built EVs over ICEVs and conversions - the elimination of belts, and their attendant wear and need for maintenance. (To be fair though, I'm pretty sure that Toyota Prius ICEVs have been beltless for at least one generation now.)
