Fifty-seven pedestrians were injured after being hit by an e-scooter in Britain in 2020, the Department for Transport has said.
Thirteen of the casualties suffered injuries described as “serious”.
Other road users injured in e-scooter collisions include 22 vehicle occupants and 21 cyclists.
One e-scooter rider was killed and a further 383 were injured in accidents last year.
Privately-owned e-scooters are illegal to ride on roads or pavements in the UK.
They can only be used on private land.
Government-approved e-scooter hiring schemes are being trialled in some locations.
