If a rider fails to adhere to these requirements, a scooter could cause an accident (the same applies to Bird chargers; their recklessness during drop-off could cause accidents).
• Defective scooters: electric scooter accidents can also be caused by defective scooters. Some companies negligently release products for consumer use. These products, such as scooters, can pose risks to users. Some of the most common scooter defects include defective brakes, defective wheels, and defective handling, for instance. A defective scooter can also lead to accidents. Often, defective scooters cause accidents even if the rider is using the scooter with caution.
