that they are used with care and in appropriate ways. In terms of the negative attributes, the number of injuries in public has been significantly increased in the wake of the use of electric vehicles. As an illustration, the lion’s share of commuters suffers various types of trauma,

for example

, head injuries, as electric scooters and

hoverboards

offer no protection for the user and travel at high speeds.

For instance

, the recently published statistics show that the road-related injuries in New York have increased by 20% since the advent of electric vehicles

traffic.

In addition

, electric vehicles decrease hours of exercise as these commuters are no longer moving their legs to walk and become even lazier over time.

However

, the overall benefits of these devices outweigh these drawbacks. To start with, the electric vehicles are time-saving for short distances

However
