Paris bans *rental* e-scooters

#1

Post by Mr Gus »

Allegedly there are 20,000 rental e-ecooters over the city scape?
It took me 24 hours after the announcement to find a news headline that stated it was HIRE scooters affected , in the rush to be first with headlines they missed out a large element of fact.

This is a tad better


I do agree that the indicators need implementing, whilst I can slow down & hand indicate (mostly) as well as press my led bar ends the indicator alert needs to be implemented for turning (recommend a bluetooth unit, fixed rear on a hoop above the rear wheel maybe on a bendy wire for removal & backpack stashing, fold out angled end indicator lights that angle outwards beyond the body mass & can be dolded back in at end of ride.

Sadly crud bar end indicators (thumb press) are as much as £70 ..still not assured visibility fix.

Hmm. Does that mean 20,000 scooters being sold off cheap? 🤔🤔

Well, if they are French then I'll bet the charging hardware or software won't be compatible with anything else anywhere in the world...
