e-scooter Casualty Report - PACTS UK

17 January 2024

Building on previous extensive research into the safety of private e-scooters, PACTS has published a study investigating the extent of under-recording of injury collisions involving e-scooters. By analysing data from two months in late 2021 PACTS looked at 300 casualties recorded by hospitals across the UK, police records and data from the rental trials to identify matches between the different datasets.
