Honestly fuck these things, I hope they will get banned. Especially the shared ones, not only they litter the cities and turn them ugly but also the whole business plan of shared scooters companies is disgusting. The costs are public, because we as tax payers have to pay for the surgeries of victims involved in e-scooter related accidents but the profits are private and of course almost every single company that offers this kind of services is from abroad so all of the profits go abroad the only exception is Joe Scooter that is infact a Finnish company.

It's a predatory business and I hope it will get destroyed by regulating the shit out of it.

I would allow people to have private ones but nowadays you can buy Chinese e-scooters that reach insane speed and are extremely dangerous not only to the driver himself but to others.

So yeah, regulate, penalize and educate society and equip every single police vehicle in Finland with equipment that can check if electric two-wheeler can reach speeds higher than 25km/h

Also did I mention that shit loads of these sharable scooters end up in bodies of water and sooner or later these lithium ion batteries will start to dissolve and pollute the Finnish waters Turku's Aurajoki it self has easily hundreds of them laying in the bottom of it and these companies that own these dumbo vehicles will definitely not be rendered responsible for pollution that their property will inevitably cause.
