articleThe Brief The number of e-scooter-related injuries jumped by 80% between 2023 and 2024 alone, according to an analysis by Eridehero. People between the ages of 15 and 24 suffered the most injuries from e-scooters. The number of kids under 15 injured by e-scooters more than doubled in 2024 alone. While the rise in injuries makes e-scooters appear dangerous, it’s actually human error that leads to these incidents. Eridehero’s study also found that head injuries were the most common among e-scooter users, followed by the face, knee, shoulder and wrist.
