Key Points Question How do electric scooter (e-scooter) injuries compare with traditional bicycle injuries? Findings In this cohort study of 3191 patients with e-scooter or bicycle injuries, e-scooter injuries commonly occurred at nighttime and involved young adults who were not helmeted and most often intoxicated. In contrast, most bicycle injuries were sustained during commuting hours and involved riders of a wider age range who were often helmeted and less likely to be riding while intoxicated. Meaning The rate of intoxication in e-scooter riders injured at nighttime is high, and introduction of preventive measures should be considered.
