Almost half of parents in Newcastle have admitted to allowing their children to go without helmets when riding e-scooters.
A new survey, commissioned by solicitors Hodge Jones & Allen, looked at safety data relating to private e-scooters across 15 major cities across the UK, and revealed some surprising results.
The study of 2000 parents found that one in four adults had bought a e-scooter for their children, but child safety campaigners are concerned parents are unaware of all the legal and safety risks involved with using the vehicles.
