The pedestrian suffered a serious head injury and was taken to Royal Berkshire Hospital but the teen failed to stay at the scene.
The man has since been discharged but will require plastic surgery.
Investigating officer PC Mark Neill, of the Joint Operations Roads Policing Unit, based at Three Mile Cross police station, is now appealing for witnesses.
He said: "I would also appeal to the e-scooter rider involved to come forward. There is no doubt they would not know they had been involved in a collision.
