Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many injuries and deaths caused by e-scooters and e-bikes there have been in each of the past three years.
The information requested is not held.
Data on deaths and injuries in reported road collisions is based on information reported to the Department by police forces in Great Britain via the system known as STATS19.
STATS19 does not distinguish between e-bikes, which will be included within the pedal cycle or electric motorcycle categories depending on their power rating. Additionally, STATS19 does not assign blame to any of the participants in collisions, so that it is not possible to provide figures on injuries or deaths caused by any mode of transport.
The number of deaths and injuries in collisions involving e-scooters and pedal cycles is shown in the table, for the three most recent years for which figures are available. In most cases, the casualties was the rider of the e-scooter or the pedal cyclist themselves.
