Riding an electric scooter could be expensive in Aveyron

150 euros minimum fine, since the offenses are cumulative, so it is better to make sure you are in compliance.

Namely:

– Ride on cycle paths, do not use sidewalks

– 25 km/h maximum

– 1 person on the scooter

– Have all safety equipment: helmet, front and rear lights, reflective vest, horn

– And have insurance to be covered in the event of an accident…

Common sense, but obviously not for everyone who rides a scooter. This is why Jean-Philippe Keroslian, the mayor of Onet-le-Château, took these measures.

We legitimately have motorists and pedestrians who are exasperated by this totally irresponsible behavior. I am a witness to this myself, a few days ago, I again saw 2 people on scooters traveling in the evening, they had no lighting, and were wearing dark clothes, there will be an accident is not possible.

The municipal police will first play the educational card with the drivers of electric scooters, but from Monday January 20, they will not hesitate to fine them.

Other towns in the Rodez metropolitan area could also follow the example of Onet-le-Château in the coming weeks.

Elsewhere in France, the cities of Carcassonne and Béziers have completely banned the circulation of electric scooters in the city center.
