"Between 2024 and 2025, total bike and scooter mileage of the four mobility companies in the report grew by 14 percent, while the risk of injury declined by a little more than 1 percent. Bike safety seems even greater: e-bike trips increased by 72 percent in the same period yet injuries per million trips fell by around 18 percent compared to 2024."
"The 2025 data is based on more than 353 million shared e-scooter trips and 136 million shared e-bike rides in the 27 European Union member states, plus Norway, Switzerland, the UK and Israel."
"The companies collaborated to form Micro-Mobility for Europe to push back on the notion that e-bikes and scooters are a threat to safety. Its mission calls for joint effort to "develop a framework that ensures micro-mobility solutions flourish in cities in full respect of all road users and to revolutionize urban transportation toward a shared, electric, and carbon-free future.""
""This indicates that with technological advancements, responsible operation, and better urban infrastructure, safety can be boosted even as micromobility network expands," said George Yannis, a professor at National Technical University of Athens, which is working with the coalition to further study safety outcomes. "Continued monitoring and increased availability of micromobility data as well as evidence-based policies by both the [companies] and [local officials] will be essential to sustain this positive trend and further support Europe's Vision Z"
Total bike and scooter mileage for four mobility companies increased by 14 percent from 2024 to 2025 while injury risk declined by a little more than 1 percent. E-bike trips rose by 72 percent over the same period, while injuries per million trips fell by around 18 percent compared with 2024. The figures come from analysis of shared e-scooter and shared e-bike trips across 27 EU member states plus Norway, Switzerland, the UK, and Israel. The dataset includes more than 353 million shared e-scooter trips and 136 million shared e-bike rides for 2025. The findings counter the idea that micromobility makes roads less safe and emphasize continued monitoring and evidence-based policies.
