Types of Accidents Associated with E-Scooters
Electric scooters can travel up to 15 miles per hour. While this may not sound super-fast, colliding with a car, person, wall, or anything else can cause serious injuries. There are many reasons electric scooter accidents and injuries can happen, including:
- Defective parts
- Lack of scooter maintenance
- Issues with terrain (uneven sidewalks, roadway debris, etc.)
- Swerving or quick turns to avoid collisions with people or vehicles
- Collisions with cars or car doors
- Collisions between scooter riders and pedestrians
- Wobbling wheels
- Locked front wheels
- Ineffective braking mechanisms
- Vandalism or undetected damage to the scooter’s steering or motor

Some of the most common injuries include:
- Broken bones
- Neck and back injuries
- Traumatic brain injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Road rash
- Fractures
