At least 1,373 incidents involving e-scooters have been recorded in the last 2 and a half years.
That's according to new figures obtained in the Irish Times.
They include 440 collisions, while Gardai have seized 269 e-scooters in the same period.

This year alone, there have been 453 incidents, compared to 640 in 2021 and 280 in 2020.
67 percent of those incidents were recorded in Dublin.
Limerick accounted for 5 percent, while 4 percent occurred in Cork.
The figures come as the government continues to work on legislation to regulate the use of e-scooters.
