Mailman School of Public Health, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Epidemiology and first author of the study·Burford said in a statement:"Our research results highlight the urgent need to strengthen the monitoring of micro-vehicle injuries and find strategies for cities to improve user safety, so that micro-vehicles can become a safe, sustainable, fair and healthy transportation choice."

earlier this month, the title 《20192022was published in the monthly issue of the American Journal of Public Health. The research report says sales of e-bikes are up269 percent, more than the sales of electric cars and electric trucks.

More men than women have been injured in accidents related to electric scooters and e-bikes.

Andrew, the study's author and professor of epidemiology at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health·said in a statement that the large increase in electric microvehicle injuries mentioned in the study may be due to the lack of use of protective equipment, safety education and supervision of shared microvehicle systems, as these systems do not require helmets for users.
