It's a month since a 12 year old boy died while riding an electric scooter in Birmingham.

Mustafa Nadeem from Bordesley Green was on one of the rental scooters from the company VOI.

His family say the trial of these e-scooters should be stopped - while a review's carried out in to their safety.

Uncle Waqas Rashid speaks to Rakeem Omar.

Statement from Birmingham City Council

鈥淥ur thoughts are with the family and friends of Mustafa at this awful time. VOI have already implemented a number of immediate actions and have identified further long-term actions. Given the police are investigating the circumstances of the collision and have appealed for witnesses, we are not in a position to be able to comment further while that is on-going.鈥�

Statement from VOI
