The Road has E-Volved, what about Road Safety:
FIA European Bureau study on Safety and Environment Aspects of Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs refer to electric bicycles, electric scooters, self-balancing machines, and cargo bicycles). The report pinpoints that approximately 50% of users (e-bikes and e-scooters) are not aware of safety rules while nearly 60% of pedestrians do not feel safe when interacting with e-scooters. Approximately 80% of PMD accidents tend to be single-vehicle crashes, with very few involving other vehicles or pedestrians. Causes of accidents are often related to disregard for rules and user inexperience with the mobility device.
