Read this before hopping on a scooter
One in three people injured on e-scooters gets hurt during their very first ride, according to a government safety report released this week.
One in three of those injured was riding an e-scooter for the first time. In fact, most of those who landed in the hospital were novices; about 63% had ridden nine times or less before getting hurt. Most of the accidents actually didn’t involve cars; only 10% of injured riders were hit by motor vehicles. Rather, half reported their accidents resulted from road conditions such as potholes and cracks. More than a third admitted they crashed while going too fast, and 10% said they hit a curb. Just under one in five claimed that their scooter malfunctioned. And more than half were injured in the street, while one-third were hurt on the sidewalk.
Motorized scooters from companies such as Bird, Lime and the Ford-owned F, +0.68% Spin have been appearing all over the country, generally charging users anywhere from 15 cents to $1 per minute to rent e-scooters docked throughout an urban area, which can zip around as fast as 15 miles per hour.
