Electric scooters are also under a review here in Lanzarote.
More for their use on sidewalks and in pedestrian areas as they are not allowed on the roads, which is ludicrous, because electric is the future of transport.
If we are to save our beautiful planet, they need to be licensed for road use and on special routes.
Many are left around the towns for use by tourists and people who need them for work.
They are unlocked and charged to your card by using a special website.
This is a great idea but not according to the authorities.
China is so far ahead of the world with this new way of travel because they don't allow red tape to get in the way of the future.
Most western governments only want to make money from its citizens.
In Brazil, many of the places where we have scooters and electric bicycles are in places with many business buildings, so people use this transportation for service.
It turns out that many of the streets in Brazil are not suitable for these vehicles, so the streets are not yet an option. I believe they should first enable them to use the sidewalks, clear the streets, and then think about saying something about letting them use the streets.
On governments wanting to steal more and more of the citizens, this sure, after all, is the main goal of any government, stealing money through taxes of its citizens.
