Abstract

The ‘Voi’ (Voi technology, Stockholm, Sweden) electric scooter (e-scooter) pilot scheme was initiated in Bristol, Bath and parts of the Southwest on October 29th 2020. The trial was started by West of England Combined Authority in partnership with Bath & North East Somerset Council, Bristol City Council and South Gloucestershire Council. The pilot scheme operates on a short term rental basis, with speed limits set in certain areas. However, a number of studies have reported an increasing number of e-scooter related injuries referred to specialties such as Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, placing strain on already overstretched health resources.
