A bill will be put to a vote on Tuesday, the minister said. The bill would prohibit children under the age of 17 from using electric scooters.

Based on statistics, we have seen that among our citizens under 17 years of age, the number of accidents has increased, said Kotsiras.

Around 400 children and young people were injured in accidents involving electric scooters last year, several of them fatally, according to the Greek Health Workers' Association.
