Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Oh yeah the injuries I've seen are not only bad but unusual too.
Some fun examples: Patient hit a curb at speed. Not only facial injuries but somehow split the left iliac wing (the big roundish flat bit of the pelvis) in half. Patient split their humerus vertically from the elbow about halfway up.

Yeah ok.
The bike shop I frequent was selling e-scooters for a while, but stopped because of ethical concerns - customers incurring grievous injuries.
Those were high-end, well made and compliant e-scooters as well.
Its not only the riders, but risks to pedestrians as well. Someone in my city died after being hit by a drunken tourist on an e-scooter.
IMO bikes, electric or not, are the superior format.
