RALEIGH, North Carolina – the legislators in North Carolina seem to have made some small steps in order to manage the electric scooter and the companies that produce them. There will be clearer regulations that the users of the e-scooter have to meet in order to keep any problems away from the traffic of the city. In the other words, the law of the state can warrant the e-scooter will be free from any register requirements just like the other vehicles such as bicycles, mopeds, hover boards, and so on. So then, you can still keep some of your money as well as possible. However, some of the members of the council in the county really take it seriously as they think about the consequences the users of the vehicle have to take when they fall. They are assuming you can hit stones and concretes so hard, which it can affect you so bad, while riding an e-scoter.
Well, basically, the initial idea of the e-scooter regulations, which have been considered since December 2018, is only about the direction of how and where the scooter should be parked and ridden, So then, it will never bother the traffic or the people who use the facilities in the public area, which can be like the sidewalks, town square, and so on. Aside of that, these particular regulations will be more concern about the license for the e-scooter companies. In the simple words, the House Transportation Committee wants the manufacturers of the e-scooter have some standards to keep the quality of the vehicles in the best way. By doing so, they can hopefully make it a safer transportation option that the people from can take. Yet, many experts believe that there are some sponsors that will never let the regulations get done as well as the council members expect. They will try to do the optimal efforts to make the city not able to ban the e-scooter companies easily.
In addition to this, there is John Torbett, who is a representative of the sponsor, stated that the regulations will never affect the operations of the e-scooter significantly in general. Even he added that the more comprehensive regulations which the members of the council try to make, the better it will be for the later date. Thus, it will be great if the council plans the bill for increasing the e-scooter safety and education. So, they will have the more self-awareness whenever and wherever they ride the vehicle.
