Incidence and severity of electric scooter related injuries after introduction of an urban rental programme in Vienna: a retrospective multicentre study

Timon Moftakhar et al.

Summary: A study on e-scooter-related injuries found that head and upper extremities were the main affected areas, with patients over 40 having more severe injuries. Therefore, mandatory helmet use may reduce head injury morbidity; considering the high rates of nighttime injuries, banning e-scooter use at night could potentially cut injury numbers in half.
