Another city in Russia banned scooters rental

Already the second city is decided on such a ban: following the Blagoveshchensk, the rental of electric scooters and other means of personal mobility (SI) was banned in Elabuga (Republic of Tatarstan). This was written by Kommersant with reference to local authorities, including the Executive Committee of the Elabuzhsky district.

The reason for the prohibition on Sim is the lack of infrastructure. The authorities explained that in Elabug there are no sufficient number of bicycle paths and special strips for scooters and other similar devices. On the sidewalks, they interfere with pedestrians and create danger.

While the problem with the infrastructure is not resolved, the rental SIM in the city will remain prohibited. “Illegal” devices will be evacuated to a parking lot.

For scooters, they want to introduce verification through the “public services” of parents, they fined 100 thousand rubles for a child’s ride on an electric scooter in Russia reduced the maximum speed of electric scooters

It is noted that we are talking about rental: ordinary citizens are not prohibited from using personal electricity scapers if they observe traffic rules.

Before Elabuga, Blagoveshchensk introduced a similar ban, forbidding personal sim. It will be fined for violation of the ban in the amount of up to 100 thousand rubles – such a sanction was provided for legal entities. For citizens, it is more modest – from two to three thousand, writes Amur Pravda.
