The debut dataset spans January to March 2020, during which time micromobility such as electric scooters were involved in 251 personal injury accidents, while 39 were seriously injured and one killed.
Benchmarked against the data attached to cycles, which recorded 12,727 accidents, 2,052 seriously injured and 52 killed in the same period, the trending personal travel format appears to be relatively safe; though at present there are likely to be far more cycles on the road than e-Scooters.
