These figures represent an increase from 2024, when 428 people were seriously injured and six were killed in e-scooter-related incidents. While overall road fatalities in Great Britain declined by 3 per cent to 1,556 in 2025, the number of people seriously injured or killed increased by 4 per cent to 29,911.

The RAC highlighted that little progress has been made in reducing road harm, with an average of four people still losing their lives on British roads daily.
