Since the summer of 2018, self-service electric scooters have grown considerably and have become the new means of transport favored by the younger generation and all those who wish to leave the car behind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why should I use an electric scooter?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Practical, fun, fast and eco-friendly, many are the advantages of the electric scooter.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the city, and even more so in Â鶹APP, the slightest trip can become a real headache what with the very dense and one-way traffic, lack of parking spaces, high-rate ticketing, and the general waste of time that ensues. Whether for a stroll or to get to work, using this mode of transportation can quickly become an asset to get to your destination faster, saving you money and stress and making your daily commute much more fun.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which company should I take?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Today, there are about ten self-service electric scooter operators in the capital. \u00a0In June 2018, Lime was the first to deploy its service. That was just a year ago, but that time was enough for a dozen other firms to set out on the adventure and to settle in the streets of the capital. <\/span><\/p>\n

A few weeks after Lime, Bird electric scooters came out, then Bolt in the fall of the same year, followed by Wind. In 2019, the Flash, Hive, Voi and Dott electric scooters arrived and others are still expected to come on the market. You have a wide choice !<\/span><\/p>\n

But do not hesitate too long to choose one of them because they all offer similar services and rates: 1 euro of care and then a 15 cent per minute run, which is equivalent to paying 3.25 euros for 15 minutes and 5.5 euros for 30 minutes of travel. Pretty affordable? The Bolt company presents the novelty of being able to reserve the scooter for three minutes before you reach it, giving you time so that no-one takes it beforehand.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to use the scooters?<\/h3>\n

To borrow the machines, the system is classic. After downloading the application, you must first locate a scooter<\/strong> on the map, find it, then scan the bar code<\/strong> (QR code) on the handlebars to unlock it. To return it, simply park it<\/strong> where it disturbs the least and then finish the race on the application.<\/span><\/p>\n

But if the number of companies continues to increase, so does the number of injured users. So how can you ride an electric scooter without being bothered? What are we allowed to do? What behaviours are tolerated?<\/span><\/p>\n
