there is No peace for the electric scooter, one of the most used platforms and digital sharing around the world, is at the center of a controversy without end.
it is Not the past, not even a month after the publication of the budget law, which stated that the scooters to bicycles (bicycles and e-bikes) authorizing circulation on normal main roads, and already there are many proposals to make an about-turn.
A resolution tabled by the centre-right, in fact, commits the Government to suspend the application of the equation of scooters to the bike until the conclusion of the trials have already started in Italy and to take all necessary actions to ensure the safety of road until you get to assess the suppression of this rule.
in Short, there are those who want to relegate again to the movement of segways in pedestrian areas, cycle paths and streets with a speed not exceeding 30 km/h.
A strong opposition to this possibility comes from the Foundation for Sustainable Development, which had already been activated to facilitate the movement of a vehicle considered one of the pillars of the micromobilità and which can move freely in the cities of european countries such as Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.
“The Foundation supports the proposal of the Observatory, sharing mobility, which in the course of 2019, together with the main operators in the sector, has developed a position paper on the topic, choosing a line that still seems to us well balanced, allowing the movement of the scooter, where it circulates today, an e-bike and allow the help of these funds those who have already turned 16 years”.
“we Believe still valid in the setting of the Observatory to add to the Foundation for Sustainable Development – and we believe that, if they should be made more changes to the Budget Law 2020, it is essential to keep the balance the principle that, in the inhabited centres, the segways can move where it can do so on an e-bike.
foreign experiences tell us that the scooters have a key role in further encouraging the trend of micromobilità shared, which is essential for the reduction of the environmental impacts of urban mobility”.
On the controversial issue was also addressed by the group leaders in the transport Committee of Parliament, Emanuele Scagliusi (M5S), Davide Gariglio (Pd) and Nicola Stumpo (Leu) with a joint statement:
“We are aware that the current legislation on scooters present some challenges, and align these resources to bicycles it does not solve completely the problems. For these reasons, the minority groups of the Chamber are working to find a common solution that can promote this type of alternative mobility by ensuring the rules of the road and the safety of motorists and pedestrians”.
On the issue of security linked to the wave of segways coming from non-european Countries it is also expressed Confindustria Ancma (national Association cycle motorcycle accessories) that, as is the case for the bicycle, asks for a legislation able to ensure certain technical requirements of manufacture, which are secure, users of these media.
