The Home Office collects and publishes data on Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) and other outcomes for motoring offences (including court action) on an annual basis as part of the ‘Police Powers and Procedures’ statistical publication. The most recent data, for the years 2011-2019, is available here:

However, data is not collected on the type of vehicle (including e-scooters) for which the FPN is issued.

Information on cases brought to court are a matter for the MoJ.
