The figures explain why authorities require a driving license to operate mopeds, scooters and other small motor vehicles, said Zoir Yuldoshev, spokesperson for the State Road Safety Service.
From January through September, 563 road crashes involving mopeds and scooters were recorded, leaving 488 people injured and 89 dead, Yuldoshev said.
Traffic violations involving the vehicles have also increased significantly. Authorities recorded nearly 300 violations by moped and scooter riders throughout 2025. In the first nine months of 2026 alone, the number reached 4,312.
In 162 cases, riders were found to have been operating mopeds or scooters both without the required documents and while intoxicated.
Yuldoshev said the figures demonstrate the need for stricter safety requirements for people operating mopeds, scooters and other small motor vehicles.
