Since Lime Scooters launched in New Zealand last October, there have been 300 Accident Compensation Corporation claims for injuries.
A 26-year-old woman riding one of the electric scooter was seriously injured yesterday in Dunedin, when she collided with a truck.
The company is running training sessions on local road rules and rider responsibility, as part of an international multi-million dollar safety campaign.
Lime's Wellington operations manager, Sam Seiniger, said the uptake of Lime scooters had been astounding and safety remained the company's number one priority.
