As more people use electric scooters, accidents are also increasing. In 2025, seven people died and 6,624 were injured in electric scooter-related accidents. The Swedish Transport Agency will now investigate whether the current rules are sufficient and propose possible changes, according to a press release.
According to the authority, there is also a great deal of ignorance about which rules apply, what technical requirements are set and how electric scooters may be used in traffic. The authority believes that many accidents could be avoided if the rules were followed more closely. The assignment is to be completed in early 2027.
