According to a 2020 study, the number of scooter accidents in the US more than tripled over the course of four years. There were 4,582 in 2014 and 14,651 in 2018. Another study found the likelihood of an accident is more likely than a car accident both per-mile traveled and per-trip. Per-mile traveled the likelihood of injury from a Denver scooter accident is between 175 and 200 times the likelihood in a car. Denver is full of great places to ride electric scooters, which increases the likelihood of more accidents in the city's future.
