PARIS: The city of Paris cracked down on e-scooter speed on Thursday , saying rented scooters would be capped at 10 kilometres per hour except on major streets and cycling paths.
But David Belliard, deputy mayor in charge of transport, rejected the suggestion, telling AFP it could create a"Parisian patchwork" that would be difficult to understand for e-scooter users.The current speed limit of 20 kilometres per hour would in future apply only in cycling lanes and wider streets linking Paris neighbourhoods as well as bus lanes that were already authorised for cyclists.
The new rules, to come into force by mid-December, would only apply to rental scooters, not those owned privately, Belliard said. But a retired woman said"this is still not enough", telling AFP that e-scooters are"extremely dangerous".
