A new report analyzing official crash, offense, and injury data from Croatia and Slovenia has been completed, providing an evidence-based overview of e-scooter safety. The findings highlight key risk patterns and confirm that e-scooter safety is a growing road safety issue, while also underlining the need for systematic monitoring and further research across EU countries.

A comprehensive report analyzing e-scooter-related crashes, offenses, and injury outcomes in Croatia and Slovenia has been completed as part of the eSCURB project. The report is based on official police crash and offense databases, complemented by hospital emergency department data, providing a multi-source evidence base on e-scooter safety.
The analysis covers national crash data from Croatia (2023–2024) and police and medical data from Slovenia (2021–2025). It places the findings in a broader European context by comparing them with available EU statistics. The report examines temporal patterns, rider demographics, behavioral factors, infrastructure characteristics, and injury mechanisms, highlighting a high share of single-vehicle crashes, low helmet use, alcohol involvement, and notable differences in injury severity between countries.
The findings confirm that e-scooter safety is a relevant and growing road safety issue, while also demonstrating important limitations in current data-collection and reporting practices. The report provides an evidence-based foundation for further research, improved monitoring, and the development of safety and policy measures for micro-mobility in urban environments.
