A collision with an electric scooter, even at only 25 kilometres per hour, against a pedestrian or a vehicle can cause serious injuries.
This is the main conclusion of the report, ‘Crash-tests of electric scooters, associated risks and recommendations for safe use’, carried out by Fundación MAPFRE in collaboration with CESVIMAP and which includes the results of two crash tests, based on previous simulations by computer.
“The objective is to raise awareness of the possible risks of VMP (Personal Mobility Vehicles) abuse and to provide our support to manufacturers to improve the design of these vehicles and make them safer,” explained José María Cancer, director of CESVIMAP.
