Electric Scooter Injury Statistics

Despite city bans, 8% of e scooter incidents still happen on sidewalks and nighttime riding accounts for 37% of crashes. With loss of control in 60% of single vehicle crashes and a $1,649 median California hospitalization cost for one trauma visit, these latest injury statistics explain exactly where risks spike and why helmets and safer infrastructure are still failing too many riders.

Electric scooters can look effortless until you line up the injury details. In the latest US reporting, emergency room visits for micromobility devices were estimated at 135,500, and e-scooter injuries have climbed fast, with nighttime riding accounting for 37% of crashes. The most eye opening part is how many incidents are tied to real world factors like brake problems, wet pavement skidding, and curb strikes that happen right where you ride.
