E-scooter accidents and risk factors - survey results from users of rental e-scooters in Norway 2021

After rental services of e-scooters started in Norway in 2019, they became very popular and widespread, which also led to many accidents and injuries. This was systematically registered and published by the Oslo Emergency Ward every month and the figures showed a clear tendency for the accident figures to follow the scope of use, with higher figures in the summer. There is also an increase in accidents and injuries from 2019 to 2020, and on to 2021. To investigate further about risk factors involved when using e-scooters, we conducted a comprehensive survey among e-scooter users in Norway
