“Following a number of high-profile accidents, legislation around scooters is likely to tighten.”

An Uber driver in Austin told me that Austin hospitals treat on average 77 scooter accidents a week.

According to results of a 3-month CDC study in Austin described at Car and Driver, it may be closer to 14 to 20 per week. The summary still is that e-scooter safety is “terrible.”
