Are e-scooters the future of greener commuting? #RAZOR
Razor • 4m 59s
An electric scooter trial is underway in London, with e-scooters available to rent in a small number of areas. π΄
It follows trials in more than 40 towns and cities across the UK as the government considers whether to follow European neighbors and legalize e-scooters on roads. π£
It's hoped this greener form of transport will not only allow for more socially distanced commutes, but it will also aid in the reduction of pollution. π
Similar trials in other cities across the world have succeeded in getting e-scooters rolled out more widely. RAZOR's Shini Somara speaks to John Irving, CEO of AER Electric, about the benefits of this mode of transport. βΉοΈ
