Describe the challenge you want to address:

Electric scooters present challenges such as safety concerns due to higher speeds and difficulty in control, as well as potential conflicts with pedestrians and other vehicles. Accessibility issues and the need for additional resources for maintenance and charging also pose challenges. These need to be addressed for successful integration into urban environments.

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

To address safety concerns related to electric scooters, it is important to implement regulations such as speed limits and training for riders. Designated lanes or paths can help prevent conflicts with pedestrians and vehicles. Accessibility can be improved by ensuring scooters are available in various locations, especially in areas with limited transportation options. Maintenance and charging resources can be addressed through partnerships with local businesses and organizations. Collaboration between local governments, businesses, and the community is essential for the successful integration of electric scooters into urban environments. By implementing proper regulations, infrastructure, and resources, electric scooters can become a valuable and sustainable mode of transportation in urban areas.
