I am used to sharing bicycles and battery cars in China. When I first came to Paris, I never got tired of seeing the “crazy” way the French travel.
In addition to the common bicycles, cars and subways, on the roads of France, you can also see electric balance cars like this, balance somatosensory cars, skateboards, and a variety of travel methods constitute a unique “landscape” on French roads. The most favorite of the French is the electric scooter
The shared electric scooters that emerged in 2018 quickly became the favorite of the French. Lime’s electric scooters have already been used by more than one million people in Paris since they were launched on the market. At present, according to the latest industry data in April 2021, there are 22,700 electric scooters in France in 2020, breaking the 2 million user mark.
Why do French people prefer this means of transportation so much?
If you played roller skates or scooters when you were a child, you must have experienced the fun of the French – standing on a skateboard, with a wide view, just the right amount of wind, a bit of speed and a little excitement, you instantly have the feeling of being superior to others and being the only one. mean.
This kind of scooter is foldable, with an average weight of about 20 catties. It is very convenient whether you are on the elevator or taking the subway. You can even carry it in the trunk of the car, which is very light. The point is, if you encounter traffic jams, strikes and demonstrations, it is definitely the best choice for travel.
Economical, environmentally friendly and affordable – the best among them, the dragon and phoenix in the car!
However, there are still many problems with the shared electric scooters in France.
First of all, this kind of two-wheeled electric scooter has no license plate. In the case of a hit-and-run accident, it is difficult to find the perpetrator in the first place; There is no insurance, and there is no protection for both parties in the event of an accident; finally, uncivilized riding has been repeatedly banned. Many people not only wear earphones and play mobile phones on the road, but couples never abide by the “one car, one person” rule , Don’t forget to show your affection on the road. So when you use it, you must abide by the traffic regulations and pay attention to safety.
