A teenage girl has been rushed to hospital after a significant e-bike crash on the Sunshine Coast.

She was taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in a potentially life-threatening condition after the incident at Peregian Springs on Wednesday at 6.14pm.

The girl, in her early teens, suffered head injuries.

The crash happened on North Ridge Avenue, a suburban street at The Pavilions estate.

Four paramedic units attended the scene.

Last year, 123 patients were admitted to SCUH for e-scooter and e-bike related injuries.
