Doc: Please don't buy e-scooter for your kid at Xmas
Irish Daily Star
|November 14, 2025
PEOPLE have been urged not to buy e-scooters for children ahead of the Christmas period as authorities warned of a "worrying" rise in brain injuries linked to their use.
It is illegal for children aged under 16 to ride an e-scooter on a public road.
Despite this, they have become the leading cause of traumatic brain injury in children admitted to Children’s Health Ireland at Temple Street.
E-scooter-related brain injuries made up more than 25% of paediatric neurosurgical admissions at Temple Street this year.
Around half of these children required intensive care and almost half underwent emergency neurosurgery, with some left with permanent disabilities.
