Parisians voted to ban e-scooter sharing services operated by Lime, among others, from the French capital starting in September 2023.

"My 84-year-old mom is scared of getting hit by an e-scooter and no longer leaves her apartment," a voter told. Others complained about seeing piles of e-scooters on every street corner, and some pointed out that e-scooters sometimes end up dumped in the Seine river after a long night. However, some locals highlighted the merits of these so-called last-mile vehicles."Rented e-scooters are particularly useful if you're a woman.

The main e-scooter operators in Paris plan to abide by the law and shutter their operations in September.

Parisians massively vote to banish for-hire e-scootersParisians have overwhelmingly voted to banish the French capital's ubiquitous for-hire electric scooters from their streets. Frankly.....I don't agree!!! Only 103,000 voted. That's just 7.4% from 1.38 million registered voters. Overwhelming? I think not. Still, the scooter-users were impossibly egoistic and dangerous. Bye bye, Paris. More European cities are certainly to follow. What a bunch of wankers 😡

Breakingviews - Paris vote rocks scooter rental firms’ shaky rideThe business of renting out electric scooters is taking a turn for the worse. Parisians on Sunday voted to ban so-called e-scooter rentals from their streets. Turnout for the vote was low - only 7% of the population registered for it, and they were skewed towards older age groups, who tend not to ride such scooters anyway. It’s a big blow to startups like Uber Technologies-backed Lime, or Dott, which had hitherto seen the French capital as an ardent supporter of their wares.
