"I just had cuts and grazes on my feet, I haven't actually been checked out properly yet but I have a dodgy tailbone.
"It was more of a shock to the body and the jolt of it, I was off work for quite a few days."
Earlier this year, Lime scooters in Switzerland had to be recalled following reports the e-scooters were braking without warning.
Three people were injured as a result, one breaking an elbow, another dislocating a shoulder and a third person suffering grazes.
A spokesperson for Lime confirmed the company had become aware of operational issues with a limited number of their e-scooters recently.
"While the issue is still under investigation, user safety is our first priority and the affected scooters have been removed from circulation," they said.
"In the meantime, we are in the process of rolling out early detection and additional preventative measures for our global fleet."
Gillespie said she was still a big fan of e-scooters but wanted others to be aware of the danger on hills.
She hasn't contacted Lime about her fall yet but plans to and wanted to share her experience for the benefit of others.
"It's just a scary experience and it could have easily been so much worse, I was on a quiet cycle lane but if I was on the road it could have been quite bad," she said.
"You see people everywhere on them on hills, it's just about knowing that's a possibility your wheels could block and you could just fly."
