The arrival of electric scooters in cities across the country is increasing scrutiny of their safety.
According to a new Consumer Reports investigation, which did a spot check of hospitals and public agencies such as police departments, an estimated 1,500 people have been injured in e-scooter-related crashes since 2017.
Hospitals in Atlanta and Nashville, for example, have seen 360 and 250 patients with injuries related to e-scooters, per CR.
