Electric scooters are widespread in Estonia. Bolt introduced them in 2018.
Laureen Kalvet studied accidents. The police say there are few accidents. Doctors don't say that.
Most accidents involve men. Laureen studied Pärnu. She found 97 accidents. 68% were men. 20 were boys aged 5-14.
The data is hard to compare. The injury classification is outdated. Electric scooters are not mentioned separately.
In Pärnu, most injuries are minor. Fractures are common. 13 people had to be hospitalized.
Laureen's work won an award. The work was supervised by teachers.
