Nearly 50 e-vehicle injuries reported www.ubpost.mn
The National Traumatology and Orthopedics Research Center reported a sharp rise in injuries caused by micro-mobility vehicles such as electric scooters, mopeds, electric bicycles, and Surron off-road bikes. According to officials, the number of accidents involving these vehicles increased sixfold in the past year.
Data shows a concerning upward trend: 50 cases were recorded in 2022, rising to 305 in 2023, 532 in 2024, and reaching 2,792 injuries in 2025 alone. Authorities noted that these types of vehicles have been officially allowed to participate in road traffic since April 10. However, within just four days, between April 10 and 14, 48 separate accidents involving scooters, mopeds, and Surrons were registered at the center.
Of the injured individuals, 73 percent were male and 27 percent female. A breakdown of accident circumstances revealed that 27 riders fell while operating mopeds, 10 were injured after being struck by passenger vehicles, and one case involved a collision with a bicycle.
Among scooter-related accidents, seven children were injured after falling, while four were hit by cars. In addition, two Surron riders fell and one was struck by a vehicle. Medical officials reported that 87.5 percent of the injured were not wearing protective helmets, significantly increasing the risk of serious head and facial injuries.
In terms of injury patterns, 27 percent of all cases involved head trauma. Injuries to the knees and lower legs accounted for 25 percent, followed by 16.6 percent affecting the ankles and feet. Injuries to the wrists, hands, and fingers made up 8.3 percent, while the same proportion was recorded for elbow and forearm injuries. More severe cases included fractures to the abdomen, shoulder, upper arm, hip, and femur.
Health professionals have urged the public to exercise extreme caution when using micro-mobility vehicles, stressing that children should not be allowed to operate them. They also strongly warned against carrying passengers on such vehicles, emphasizing that reckless use is a major contributing factor to the rising number of preventable injuries.
