Incidents and injuries to those who use the vehicle type have been alerted from, among other things, healthcare.
- The majority are wounds, fractures in the arms and legs, injuries to the face and knocked out teeth.
There are also serious, very serious or even life-threatening conditions, said Ragnar Ang, chief physician at Sahlgrenska Hospital, to TT this week.
Earlier this year, a survey was presented among electric scooter cyclists who sought care at Sahlgrenska and Mölndal Hospital's emergency rooms.
Most of the injuries had occurred at night and preferably on weekends.
More than half of the respondents had drunk alcohol before the accident and only one in ten wore a helmet at the time of the accident.
