Going nowhere: These escooters won’t run with two riders


Two people riding an electric scooter can lead to a fine of €35. — AFP Relaxnews

Escooter-sharing companies are deploying new technologies to avoid multiple riders using a single device – something that’s prohibited in many jurisdictions and dangerous. Solutions were demonstrated at the recent Autonomy Mobility World Expo in Paris.

In France, where the Autonomy Mobility World Expo takes place, escooter riders must also be at least 12 years old, ride on a bike path where available, not exceed 25 km/h and not carry another passenger. Carrying a passenger with you on an escooter is currently punishable there by a fine of €35.
