E-Scooter Safety News

Understanding the Safety Challenges Around Scooter Mobility.

E-scooters are widely used for short trips, campus travel, urban commuting, recreation, and shared mobility. They are convenient and accessible, but riders can face serious risks from road conditions, traffic, pedestrians, speed, visibility, and limited protective equipment.

Mantis Motion Labs follows e-scooter safety reporting to better understand where incidents happen, what conditions increase risk, and what types of safety solutions may be needed.

What We Track

This page focuses on e-scooter crashes, pedestrian conflicts, injuries, city rules, shared scooter programs, helmet use, road hazards, sidewalk safety, and infrastructure concerns.

Why It Matters

Scooter riders often operate in environments that were not designed for them. They may move between bike lanes, sidewalks, streets, campuses, and intersections while navigating traffic and pedestrian movement.

Those conditions can create unpredictable risk for both riders and people around them.

Safety Direction

Mantis Motion Labs is interested in how better visibility, stronger awareness, improved rider education, smarter gear, and better infrastructure can support safer scooter use.
