Madrid had imposed new regulations on the vehicles in 2023. Madrid is set to ban e-scooters rented through mobile apps, Mayor Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida said.<\/p>\n<p>The mayor of Spain&#8217;s capital said that the companies Lime, Dott and Tier Mobility had failed to implement limits on clients&#8217; circulation and control parking. E-scooters have increasingly come under fire over safety concerns. In July, Germany&#8217;s federal statistics offics said deaths and injuries involving e-scooters rose in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Martinez-Almeida said that the three firms&#8217; licenses would be canceled starting in October and that the city had no plans to grant new licenses to other operators. &#8220;We are withdrawing authorization for companies hiring out scooters on the city&#8217;s streets,&#8221; Martinez-Almeida said in a post on X, formerly twitter. &#8220;Our priority is the&#8230; safety of the people of Madrid,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said that operators &#8220;did not comply with the conditions we imposed to guarantee the safety of pedestrians, particularly the elderly.&#8221; &#8220;The market was found to be incapable of meeting the requirements set by the mayor&#8217;s office to ensure the highest level of safety for citizens,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2023, Madrid&#8217;s city council authorized the companies Dott, Germany&#8217;s Tier Mobility and US-based Lime to rent out 2,000 scooters each and ordered them to comply with new regulations. The three operators were obliged to give the mayor&#8217;s office access to data and were also required to implement technology limiting the places where customers could park and preventing them from using them in pedestrian-only areas or near historic parks.<\/p>\n<p>The mayor&#8217;s office said in its statement the three operators had failed to comply with the regulations and now have 20 days to appeal. It comes a year after Paris implemented its own ban on e-scooters. The French capital approved of the ban after 89% of voters voiced support for it in a public consultation that saw only 7% turnout.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/madrid-announces-e-scooter-ban-over-safety-concerns\/a-70146971\">DW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/madrid-announces-e-scooter-ban-over-safety-concerns\/\">Madrid announces e-scooter ban over safety concerns<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,15997,7629],"class_list":["post-133565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-e-scooter-ban","tag-madrid"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133565\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
