E-scooter riders face higher injury risk than motorcyclists and cyclists
A study reveals that e-scooter riders suffer injuries more frequently than motorcyclists and cyclists, with women and children particularly at risk.
A new analysis of approximately 15,000 patient records shows that e-scooter riders have a higher risk of injury compared to motorcyclists and cyclists. According to the study, women and children are especially vulnerable to injuries while using electric scooters.
The results highlight that the accident risk posed by e-scooters should not be underestimated. This finding emphasizes the need to implement safety measures to minimize risks for this category of vehicle.
