"Electric scooters, e-bikes, motorized skateboards and other light personal mobility devices have become hugely popular for short trips. But is micromobility safe? A new report published by the International Transport Forum finds that:

  • E-scooter riders do not face significantly higher risk of road traffic death or injury than cyclists.
  • Motor vehicles are involved in 80% of fatal crashes with e-scooters and bicycles.
  • Traffic will be safer if e-scooter and bicycle trips replace travel by car or motorcycle.
  • The fast-paced evolution of micro-vehicles challenges governments to put in place safety regulations that are future-proof.

How can authorities help ensure that micro-vehicle riders and pedestrians will not become crash victims?"
