E-Scooters are everywhere in Calgary, and with the rise of the e-scooter, so is the rise in the number of incidents or injuries involving riders and pedestrians…
”The problem is that if they don’t start smartening up while they’re riding, then they’re gonna force the government to get involved. And once the government gets involved, that screws up everything, right? Then there’s regulations, there’s tests, and there’s rules…. E-bikes came out very fast and they’ve been around for a few years. And like in most cases now, some of the governments, like here in BC are trying and, and, and back east they’re trying to play catch up, but you know, the horses are out of the barn. So now what do you do? So it’s up to everyone out there who rides an e scooter to be smart because if they continue to drive like idiots and injure and kill people or themselves.”
“ I think people just have to, grow up right, mature, recognize that they could injure or kill somebody. And just be responsible, like what happened to, being so responsible and respectful for other people? So many people are so concerned about themselves. They just wanna ride on these things. They don’t care who’s in their way.”
