There are concerns that Brisbane’s e-scooter safety considerations are not enough after a woman was hit by a rider in West End recently.
73-year-old Robyn Abell fell to the ground and hit her nose, arm and wrist on the pavement, requiring her to go to the Mater Hospital Brisbane Adult Emergency Room for immediate treatment.
The Brisbane City Council currently allows e-scooters to be ridden on footpaths, but residents have already voiced concerns that local footpaths are not wide enough to share the space with e-scooters.
