A study from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden reveals that risky rider behavior is the primary cause of e-scooter accidents.Researchers reviewed data from nearly 7,000 trips on rented e-scooters and identified 19 crashes and 42 near-crashes.The study found that 20% of serious accidents were caused by riders deliberately creating danger or riding recklessly.To enhance safety, researchers suggest integrating warning technology, lowering speed limits in high-risk areas, and emphasizing rider education.
