The decision comes after an unprecedented referendum, which garnered 90% votes in favour. More than 15,000 electric scooters have been withdrawn from the streets of Paris. The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo promised to respect the result of the referendum.
People complained that the users made traffic difficult and increased the risk of accidents. There was also danger on the sidewalks, because they exceeded speeds of 40 kilometers per hour.
Electric scooters for rent were everywhere in the French capital, and now a third of them will be relocated to 80 municipalities, and the rest will end up in Germany.
Over 400,000 people chose a rented electric scooter last year to move around the French capital.
Also last year, there were approximately 450 accidents involving electric scooters. Three people died as a result of these accidents.

However, individuals who have personal scooters are not affected in any way by the result of the referendum. They will still be able to use their personal scooters.
The result of the referendum will have a significant impact on the finances of Paris because the 3 operators who rented electric scooters paid an annual fee of almost 1 million euros.
Together, these three companies have 800 employees for all the services offered, but, after the results of the referendum, it is not known what will happen to them. The municipality hopes that as many jobs as possible can be maintained.
