Spend time in any major metro area, and chances are, you’ll see a Bird electric scooter zipping past you on the road. With black frames and “BIRD” sprawled in capital letters, these vehicles are easily recognizable. In cities with lots of traffic and limited parking, they’ve become a staple.
However, these scooters are the subject of controversy, as related injuries continue to pile up. According to a recent study, accidents involving electric scooters nearly doubled from 2017 to 2018. Due to their small stature and lack of protective features, Bird scooters are dangerous to operate. As ridership booms and necessary infrastructure lags behind, accidents are bound to continue to rise in frequency.
