Amazon Ireland is among major retailers in Ireland removing e-scooters that are capable of exceeding Irish speed limits, according to multiple reports. The move follows calls from retailers and others to take e-scooters not compliant with Irish law out of sale. The issue is tied to concerns about injury rates. Children’s Health Ireland says the number of children and young people presenting with traumatic brain injuries has risen by 50%, attributing the increase to the widespread use of e-scooters. Other outlets report that Amazon Ireland, along with retailers such as Decathlon and Ali, is pulling certain models described as illegally fast. The government is also described as facing growing pressure to act to reduce injuries linked to e-scooters, which are reported to be the top cause of traumatic brain injuries among children. The reports focus on the legal and safety aspects of e-scooters sold in Ireland, and the retailers’ response to compliance concerns.
