Official government figures show that nearly 500 people are seriously injured in e-scooter collisions in Great Britain during 2025. Data from the Department for Transport (DfT) estimates 1,484 total casualties from crashes involving electric scooters, compared with 1,390 in 2024, indicating an increase year on year. The reports also state that deaths linked to e-scooter collisions rise to ten in 2025, with all fatalities being e-scooter riders. This compares with six deaths in 2024. Both outlets describe the same overall casualty estimate and deaths figure, citing the DfT statistics. The figures cover collisions involving electric scooters and include serious injuries and other casualty categories within the total number reported. The sources do not provide further breakdowns within the casualty totals beyond the serious injury estimate and the number of people killed. The overall picture presented is that, despite the increase in casualties and fatalities compared with the previous year, detailed circumstances of crashes are not covered in the summaries reported by the outlets.
