Vermietete E-Bicycles gefährlicher als E-Scooter in Städten: Schweden zeigt tatsächlich, dass das Crash-Risiko für E-Bikes achtmal höher ist

>The study, which is published in the Journal of Safety Research, is based on a unique data set from trips using rented e-bicycles and e-scooters in seven European cities: Gävle in Sweden, Berlin and Düsseldorf in Germany, and the UK cities of Cambridge, Kettering, Liverpool and Northampton.
>
>The researchers analysed 686 crashes involving e-scooterists and 35 involving e-cyclists.
>
>The high number of crashes involving e-scooters reflects that they were used much more frequently than e-bicycles. But their crash risk was actually much lower – regardless of whether the risk was calculated on the basis of the number, duration, or distance of the trips.
>
>“When we calculated using trip distance, it turned out that e-cyclists were eight times more likely to have a crash than e-scooterists. It’s a result that surprised us,” says Marco Dozza.
>
>This is the first time that a study of this kind has been able to compare micromobility in such a detailed and equitable way, and from so many countries and cities. A key to being able to do the study in this way was the use of GPS data. This made it possible to measure what is termed ‘exposure’ – which refers to how much a vehicle is actually used – with greater precision than previously.
>
>All vehicles in the study were rented and used in city centres, which makes the comparison more equitable than previous studies that have often mixed together urban and rural settings, or mixed rented vehicles with privately owned vehicles.
