“Bus or Lime bike? New subscription heats up the race for a cheaper commute. New pricing means it might be cheaper to e-cycle or e-scooter than get the bus.” Disastrous news for pedestrians. Why can’t people just walk? Oh it makes no money for the already rich. #Walking #EScooters #Capitalism

Lore info dump:
My 10spd tire got stuck in a crack, causing me to fall and crack my face open and a blackout round 12ish which began my brain struggles. But that'll never happen again due to helmets & gear: )Did something a bit different for #mirloMondays this #weeklyBeats as i tested two new to me #escooters, the #ecoroad #ec6 & #ec8 and parlayed the review into a bit of #artiphon #orba #music

🚀 Hold onto your Union Jacks, folks! Apparently, e-scooters are as #vintage as grandma's china – Londoners were channeling their inner speed demons a century ago on #Autopeds. 🛴 Guess the future really is just a rerun of the past, but with more flashing LED lights and less style. 😂

There are lots of good reasons for regulating shared public #eScooters, but drug #dealers being to fast and escaping #police is not one of them.

EBIKES AND SCOOTERS CONTINUE SEEING SUCCESS IN WR
In the spring of 2023, Neuron Mobility launched a transportation program utilizing orange e-scooters and e-bikes in the Waterloo Region. Residents were given access to these shared modes of environmentally friendly electric vehicles. The program has found success within the region—it offers a quick alternative to driving cars around Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge.
Statistics from the spring, summer and fall of 2023 demonstrate positive results, including a total of 46,000 riders; 190,000 trips; 360,000 kilometers ridden; $8.2 million poured into the Waterloo Region economy and 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions saved, which is the equivalent of 192 mature trees.
The Waterloo Region is in the process of building a sustainable transportation network. These e-scooters and e-bikes are an affordable transportation option that makes sense for all types of inner-city travel, leisure rides and short trips transporting a person from their home to their workplace or school. Riders can use e-scooters or e-bikes to get from their homes to an ION or bus stop. Travelers can access an e-bike or e-scooter at a particular point in the region and then ride it and drop it off at a completely different part of town.
Colleen James, regional councillor for the City of Kitchener, said the idea of introducing Neuron e-scooters and e-bikes into the region made sense for many reasons, including the reduction of community-wide greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. This reduction is a climate goal set by the Region of Waterloo. Using low-carbon transportation is a strategy to reach this goal by 2030.
“The benefit to this program is that it was not going to cost us anything, so there is no cost to taxpayers. This is literally a partnership (between the Region and Neuron Mobility) to promote more active transportation,” James said.
James went on to say that this program allows for more options for travel within our region.
“The Region of Waterloo is Canada’s only multi-jurisdiction shared micromobility program…The success of the program can be attributed to a number of factors including the fantastic work of our municipal partners and the enthusiasm for the service from our riders across the Region,” Isaac Ransom, head of corporate affairs for Neuron Mobility, Canada said.
Neuron Mobility also has e-scooters and e-bikes in 17 cities across Canada, including Ottawa, Brampton, Vaughan, Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Saskatoon and Regina. Since the launch of these programs in 2021, riders of Neuron e-scooters and e-bikes have travelled over nine million kilometres.
To rent and ride an e-scooter or an e-bike, simply download the Neuron Mobility app and follow the instructions. A person must be at least 16 years old to rent the equipment.
The cost is approximately $2,000 per year for active use. From an environmental point of view, this is a reasonable cost compared to the cost of running a car for a year.
James, with many others, sees a bright future with the continuous utilization of e-bikes and e-scooters within the Waterloo Region.

Electric scooter trials extended, again, as operators fatigue. Scale & a degree of freedom is required to run such things profitably & conveniently for the consumer.
Meanwhile, in Europe, this was largely solved 5 years or more ago.

Braille instructions on escooter share? It's for a good reason. (A good news story!)
Good Sunday morning all!
In Halifax, Nova Scotia, as you see here, there are what I presume are instructions for use in Braille. Is that a thing? How does that work?
Edit: this is why the Braille is there it for reporting scooters in hazardous situations: https://archive.is/DQ5cM
Have any of my visually impaired followers used or heard of such a thing?
Has @TimBousquet seen these and had a feature about them in the @HalifaxExaminer ?

Meanwhile, millions of cars park illegally every single day — on pavements, in curves, on junctions, in clearly marked no-parking zones. And what happens? Nothing. It’s just ignored. Tolerated. Accepted.
But yes — e‑scooters are the problem. 🙄 #escooters #germany #gerpol #depol (3/3)

…data allowed the researchers to examine the causes of the 61 safety-critical events that were identified, including 19 crashes and 42 "near-crashes"—critical situations that could have led to a crash.
A phenomenon that was discovered surprised the researchers and clearly differs from studies of other vehicle types: in 20% of safety-critical events, the rider deliberately created a risk situation, or collision while driving.

'E-scooters in Brisbane were gathered in an empty lot in Perry Lane in Spring Hill ahead of the cyclone. Unfortunately, a car was parked there as well. The car had been parked in the spot for two days until Lime and Neuron moved their e-scooters to the location, according to the person who filmed the video. The man was then forced to painstakingly rearrange the e-scooters to free his car' https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/video/2025/mar/07/brisbane-mans-car-trapped-by-e-scooters-ahead-of-tropical-cyclone-alfred-video #cyclone #escooters #cyclonealfred #cyclonealfie

It's getting ridiculous. How many years have e-scooters existed now? How long have they been running trials? 5+ years minimum.
Why do we still not have legislation covering them? They're no different to electric bicycles, so why are they being treated so differently?

“‘It’s boorish’: E-scooter firms threaten to leave Italy after highway code updated. Fear for jobs after parliament votes for helmets, insurance and big fines for ‘wild’ riders and rogue parking, amid rise in traffic accidents.” E scooters on pavements are a danger to pedestrians and on roads a danger to the riders. They should be banned. #EScooters #JustWalk
