According to a study by the APHP (Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris), scooter accidents more than doubled between 2019 and 2022. These are the conclusions of the study carried out by the anesthesia-resuscitation services making up the group of Traubase research, Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital, Sorbonne University and Inserm.
They looked at the seriousness of injuries following road accidents with motorized personal transport devices (EDPM), in particular scooters (but also electric mono-wheels, self-balancing scooters, etc.).
EDPM drivers presented severe trauma in 45.5% of cases compared to 39.7% for motorcycle drivers and 47.3% for cyclists.
