The government doesn’t seem to understand that the reason kids go wild is lack of youth funding for other activities. It’s absolutely fantastic that kids are out riding e-scooters but they need safe protected bike lanes and junctions and helmets and there need to be riding clubs that’ll teach safety & consideration

#ebikes / #escooters are making riding more accessible, and so more people are riding, which results in calls for more bike lanes, which leads to more bike lanes.

> Thank fuck we don't have guns here.Requiring helmets and hi-viz because users of #escooters get crushed by #cars is the equivalent to requiring students to wear bullet-proof vests because school-shootings.
The responsibility is with the instrument of violence and its user:
• the gun and the shooter,
• the car and the driver.#HelmetLaws don't reduce rate of #HeadInjury. They just discourage people from using bikes and scooters:

Notice that they didn't kill themself. They were murdered by the driver of a car.You're #VictimBlaming a victim of #CarViolnce.
Studies have found that more people on #escooters actually reduce the rates of collisions because of #SafetyInNumbers:
> For serious/fatal bicycle collisions, there was a 20% sustained reduction in rates following the onset of the e-scooter schemes.

Germany wants Lime and Bolt to foot the bill for e-scooter accidents.
Rental scooters represented around one-fifth of insured e-scooters in 2023 but accounted for roughly 40% of claims.

Doctors asking for an outright ban on e-scooters after 6 kids suffered critical injuries over the last few days. That is total BULLSHIT: kids are not even supposed to be on those scooters already, but parents keep giving them.
They should be handled the very same way a moped is handled. E-scooter can be an incredible resource for commuting, with a #publictransport system which is far from optimal. But slogans are way more effective than actual and enforceable measures.

“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

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.

🚀 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.
