  • Résumé

  • The NSW Government will shortly consider a report from a parliamentary
    inquiry into e-scooters including a recommendation to legalise both private
    and shared hire e-scooters and allowing them to be used on footpaths. At
    present, children under the age of 16 are prohibited from riding e-scooters
    on the footpath. The head of trauma at the Westmead Children’s Hospital
    Dr Soundappen said this week he was shocked at the number of children
    being admitted for injuries from e-scooters and e-bikes, up 400 percent in
    just 12 months. Dr Soundappen said most of the injuries came from e-
    scooters and nearly two thirds of the children were not wearing a helmet.
    There is now considerable concern in the community, especially from the
    elderly, at the prospect of being hit by an e-scooter and I hope the
    Government gives it plenty of thought when the parliamentary inquiry is
    handed down in May. I’m David Berthon
