2024 MMfE Report: E-Scooter Injury Risk Drops by 29.8%

Release of 2024 MMfE data: E-scooters are now safer than e-bikes, with a 29.8% decrease in injury risk.

Safety is essential to sustainable transport.

New data from Micro-Mobility for Europe (MMfE) shows injury risks for shared micro-mobility users are continuing to fall — even as more people choose this mode of travel.

Key findings from the 2024 MMfE report:

  • A 7.9% decrease in injury risk per million kilometers since 2023.
  • A 29.8% drop in injury risks involving shared e-scooters since 2021.
  • Shared e-scooters are now safer than shared e-bikes per kilometer travelled, with 7.1 injuries / Mio km, vs 11.1 injuries / Mio km on e-bikes.

These improvements are driven by advancements in vehicle safety, educational initiatives, and improved infrastructure in cities across Europe.

Dott commitments for safety

At Dott, we are committed to transparent reporting and proactive safety measures. We continue to:

  • Deploy vehicles with dual brakes, stable wheelbases and geofencing.
  • Enforce speed limits in sensitive areas, including pedestrian zones.
  • Ensure routine maintenance and safety checks on every vehicle.
  • Partner with cities on education campaigns for responsible riding.

    “We believe shared mobility should be not only sustainable, but safe — for everyone in the city.”

    Looking Ahead

     

    In 2024 alone, over 312 million shared e-scooter trips and 79 million shared e-bike rides were recorded by MMfE members, covering more than 800 million kilometers in total. These journeys represent not just a shift in how we move, but a shared commitment to safer, cleaner cities.

    We’re proud to contribute to this momentum — and to continue working alongside other operators, cities, and regulators to keep improving.
