Kevin Rix, Kate McDonald, and colleagues conducted a retrospective cohort study analyzing the relationship between the time of day and injury incidence among e-scooter riders in a large U.S. city. The study found that e-scooter injury incidence is significantly higher during the evening and early morning hours, with riders injured most often between 18:00–23:59. Although e-scooter usage peaks on Saturdays, injuries are most prevalent on Fridays. The results emphasize the importance of targeted safety measures to reduce injury risk during high-incidence periods. Read the full study here.
