Studies have revealed that using an e-scooter increases your risk of injury compared to using a motorcycle, bicycle, car, or walking. Studies have also found that within 3.1 years of use, e-scooter users often need medical attention for injuries sustained in collisions. Although e-scooters may be enjoyable, convenient, and easy to use, they can cause severe harm to riders and pedestrians.
In recent years, several people in the United States have died riding e-scooters. About 80 percent of these deaths were due to collisions involving e-scooters. Factors like inexperienced riders, uncapped speeds, the lack of a helmet, and braking problems make e-scooters naturally dangerous.
