Electric scooters (e-scooters) have changed urban mobility by offering a dynamic solution to the critical "first and last mile" problem, connecting individuals from their homes to public transport and their final destinations. Despite their growing popularity, e-scooters navigate through a landscape of shifting legal frameworks, highlighting the urgency for policies that not only harness their potential but also address their inherent challenges. This study aims to shed light on the intermodal practices and demographics of e-scooters users in Barcelona, explores the potential impacts of regulatory changes on established transport habits, and assesses the adaptability of users to changing transportation options.

Shared spaces prioritise the role of micromobility in urban environments by separating vulnerable road users from motorised vehicles, aiming to enhance both actual and perceived safety. However, the presence of various transport modes, such as pedestrians, cyclists and e-scooters, with differing navigation behaviours, increases the heterogeneity of these spaces and impacts the perception of safety. Despite the increasing use of e-scooters, the safety perceptions of e-scooter riders remain largely underexplored in the literature.

E-scooters have become increasingly popular for short-distance travel in urban areas, but this rise in usage also brings about an increased risk of accidents. Studies have shown that approximately 40% of electric scooter accident victims admitted to hospitals suffer head injuries. Therefore, it is crucial to implement safety measures and improve safety systems and equipment to mitigate these risks.

The popularity of electric scooters (ES) during the last five years due to climate neutrality and public availability led to increased numbers in traffic accidents with significant injuries. This study was conducted to overview e-scooter related computed tomography (CT) positive traumatic brain injuries, exploring circumstances, clinical course, outcomes and possible relations to behavioral patterns. We retrospectively reviewed medical data of all patients treated in our center during the period 2019 to 2023, medical records were analysed and statistically processed.

Background: Electric scooters (e-scooters) have become a widely adopted form of transportation. Information regarding the timing, conditions, and context associated with increased frequency of e-scooter-related injuries could inform policy that may potentially reduce associated injuries and healthcare costs. However, this information is lacking, as most research to date has focused on the injury patterns sustained while using e-scooters rather than context.
