police and traffic management are against the release of electric scooters on footpaths. “We want this electric micro vehicles not on sidewalks,” said the Berlin transport Secretary of state Ingmar Streese on Monday at the presentation of the accident on the balance sheet. Of the chief of police, Frank Schattling, spoke of “mixed feelings” towards these E-vehicles.

As reported, wants to allow the Federal Ministry of transport, this still in this year, in order to promote the “future potential of the micro-mobility”. Cycling and pedestrian organisations are strongly opposed, for fear of accidents. The police, “if it is close to the Trails” will be more accidents.

Slow vehicles up to 12 km/h, in the future could ride on the sidewalk, faster up to 20 km/h on the bike path, so it provides a design of the Ministry. “The existing bike trails are not enough time for Cycling”, the ADFC said national Director Burkhard Stork.
