Koliou P., Theodoraki E. M., Kontaxi A., Yannis G., “A Decade of Micromobility Injuries in Europe: Demographic and Temporal Trends”, Proceedings of the 13th International Cycling Safety Conference, Oslo, 4-6 November 2025.

This study provides a descriptive statistical overview of micromobility-related injuries in Europe from 2013 to 2023, focusing on annual trends in injury types and the influence of user demographics, environmental conditions, and contextual elements. The objective is to inform safer urban mobility policies through a better understanding of injury patterns. Standardized traffic accident data from a multi-country European database covering 2013–2023 were used. Between 2013 and 2023, the number of micromobility-related injuries followed a gradually increasing trend, particularly for slight injuries. The increasing injury counts reflect higher micromobility adoption, while demographic patterns indicate a need for targeted safety interventions, particularly for males and younger users. The stable impact of environmental factors like weather and lighting suggests some adaptation, but the surge in serious injuries post-2020 indicates areas for improvement, such as helmet use and enforcement. Temporal shifts in behavior—driven by policy, pandemic effects, or commuting trends—are crucial to understanding injury volatility. The data suggest differentiated strategies may be needed based on location, age group, and usage context.
