Probably comes as no surprise, but at least there is awareness that these, often illegal, scooters are involved in many unrecorded incidents which result in injury.

Dunno about e-scooters but as a lad I had a scooter and was always falling off it, once they start 'twitching' at any speed that's it.

I have a Kickbike and the large front wheel which makes all the difference. As a kid I rode those scooters with little wheels and they were an accident waiting to happen. You would not get me on an electric scooter.
