Details
This factsheet presents the latest statistics for e-scooter casualties in reported road collisions including:
- monthly trends
- who is injured (age and sex)
- other casualties involved in accidents with e-scooters
- a breakdown by police force area
Data covers the period to end 2023, and is considered final. Following a notification of planned changes, provisional e-scooter factsheets will no longer be published. The next planned update will be final figures for 2024, scheduled for publication in September 2025.
At this point, it has not been possible to included casualty rates for e-scooters, due to a lack of robust data on e-scooter trips or mileage. While e-scooters were added as a new mode in the department’s National Travel Survey in 2021, a low number of trips was recorded. A report on the recording of e-scooter trips in the NTS was published in 2024. The department will keep this data under review with the intention of presenting estimates of e-scooter trips, and casualty rates, when we have confidence in the quality of this data.
