Parisians have voted overwhemingly to ban rental e-scooters in a landmark referendum that could have implications for the future of the transport in other cities.
Figures show that 89 per cent of voters rejected the devices – but turnout was less than 10 per cent of the city’s registered voters.
The mayor of the French capital had campaigned to remove roughly 15,000 electric scooters from the city streets on safety, public nuisance and environmental cost-benefit grounds ahead of next year’s Olympic Games.
Anne Hidalgo said the result sent a “very clear message” to the industry and repeated her vow to respect the outcome of the non-binding referendum.
