Rental Scooter and Motorcycle Riders Can Endure Serious Personal Injuries in an Accident on the Roads

Injuries of scooter and motorcyclist riders tend to be more severe when they are in an accident on the road. This is because of the open and vulnerable nature of riding a scooter or motorcycle on the road with other cars, trucks and busses. Two-wheel vehicle riders can experience serious injuries during an accident, including:

• Head injuries
• Neck injuries
• Limb entrapment
• Leg injuries

Scooters are meant to be used at lower speeds, such as with Vespa scooters. But the Vespa scooters have reduced speeds, a much lower engine capacity and smaller wheel heights which hamper overall maneuverability and safety when riding a Vespa scooter. Studies show that motorcycle riders ride longer distances at higher speeds than on a scooter, thus making them more vulnerable to mortality on the motorcycle, and more serious injuries in the event of a motorcycle crash.
