THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE WANTS TO ADD ELECTRIC SCOOTERS TO ITS PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION … BUT IT’LL TAKE SOME TIME. CITY OFFICIALS ARE NOW DEVELOPING REGULATIONS FOR SHARED SCOOTER COMPANIES AFTER HEARING ABOUT AN INCREASE IN HOSPITAL VISITS IN OTHER CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTY THAT ALSO ADDED THE SCOOTERS.
KOB-TV LOOKED INTO IT AND DISCOVERED A SIGNIFICANT RISE INJURIES AFTER THE SCOOTERS WERE BROUGHT IN. THERE ARE COMPANIES THAT HAVE PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE HELMETS WHEN RIDERS REQUEST THEM … BUT ALBUQUERQUE’S CURRENT LAWS DO NOT REQUIRE YOU TO WEAR A HELMET.
