What are the leading causes of e-scooter accidents, and what are the immediate consequences of these findings for rider safety and urban planning?

A study by Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg found that most e-scooter accidents are caused by reckless rider behavior, such as one-handed riding, group riding, and using smartphones while riding. The study, based on nearly 7,000 rental scooter trips, also revealed a surprising number of riders intentionally causing accidents or dangerous situations, a phenomenon more prevalent with rental scooters. This suggests that non-owners may be less concerned about accident consequences.
