Predicted increase in e-scooter accidents for 2023 as per ADAC.
In 2022, ADAC data reveals that almost half of the e-scooters in Germany are privately owned, with the rest being rentals. The automobile club advocates for these transportation methods, saying they offer "an alternative for short distances or closing the 'last mile' gap." However, there's still work to be done to enhance safety and acceptance, such as the creation of additional bike lanes and designated areas for parking rental e-scooters.
