Paris Bans Scooters!

Parisiens have voted against the use of electric scooters.

Over the past few years, electric scooters have been brought to Paris and dozens of other cities worldwide by various startups.

They promised an environmentally-friendly individual transport option.

What cities have gotten instead is chaos:

Scooters are shooting down sidewalks at dangerous speeds or laying abandoned on pedestrian thoroughfares.

Both riders and pedestrians have been injured and sometimes killed.

Scooters sounded great in theory.

In practice, they’re much more of a menace than a convenience.

What has been the scooter reaction where you live?
