Melbourne e-scooters will ‘shout’ at riders in no-go areas, deputy mayor says

Nicholas Reece says council’s ‘technological solutions’ will crack down on ‘hoon behaviour’ such as riding on footpaths

E-scooter riders who flout Melbourne’s road rules will trigger an audio warning as part of a crackdown on illegal footpath and tandem riding.

The deputy lord mayor, Nicholas Reece, said there had been a huge uptake in the e-scooters but the council had also received numerous complaints about rule breaking. “There’s a bit of a hoon element that’s gotten in there so we’ve developed some technological solutions with the providers that we think will lead to better behaviour to allow the scooters to continue in Melbourne,” he said.“I love the e-scooters. I want to see them continue in Melbourne but I’ll be the first to say we need to crack down on hoon behaviour like people riding on footpaths, double dinking and people parking the scooters everywhere,” he said.
