Description

New data from the Oregon Health Authority shows e-scooter injuries treated in hospitals and emergency departments have more than doubled in recent years as the devices become a bigger part of how people get around. A young man rides an electric scooter along the Willamette River in downtown Portland on Monday, June 9, 2025.

As electric scooters and bicycles zip through Oregon neighborhoods and city streets in growing numbers, serious injuries tied to them are climbing just as quickly.
