Services for renting electric scooters stopped working in St. Petersburg
In St. Petersburg, services for renting electric scooters stopped working, writes Fontanka.
The popular Kiksherring applications say that there are no available scooters. We are talking about the applications of Whoosh, Urt, Red Wheels, Eleven and a number of others.
According to BAZ, this is due to the fact that investigators and operatives seize scooters from parking lots in different areas of the city. The seizures are carried out as part of a criminal case of an accident involving scooters.
According to investigators, two young people aged 20 years and 21 years received from May 13 to 14 to rent scooters, which the management of the company passed to them "from selfish motives, neglecting the safety of other participants in the movement." One of them on Nevsky Prospekt ran into a man born in 1980, “then both young people from hooligan motives inflicted numerous blows to the man and legs,” SK reports. The victim was hospitalized in the hospital.
After that, the authorities of St. Petersburg limited the speed of the electric scooters on 20 popular streets of the Central and Petrograd regions of the city up to 10 kilometers per hour.
