The growing threat posed by high-speed electric scooter modifications has raised alarm
among road safety experts, with some devices reportedly capable of reaching speeds of up to

According to Dr Mustafa Aldah, such extreme speeds significantly heighten the risk of severe
injuries and fatalities, particularly given the limited protective features of e-scooters.
