Abstract:

In this report, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff presents the latest available statistics on injury estimates, fatalities, and hazard patterns associated with three micromobility products: e-scooters (including dockless/rental e-scooters), hoverboards, and e-bikes. The timeframe covered is 2017 through 2019.
