The problem
Micromobility safety incidents result in significant financial and human costs. Reported injuries exceed 30,000 across the UK and EU, with 1,300 casualties in the UK alone costing insurers and the NHS approximately GBP 7 million. In Germany, e-scooter accidents rose 14.1% year over year, reaching 9,425 incidents. These incidents drive up operational and insurance expenses for operators.
