巴黎当局发布了新的电动滑板车安全规定，骑手在公共道路上必须佩戴经批准的头盔和高可见性背心，不遵守规定将面临罚款处罚。[1]根据新规，未戴头盔的骑手将被罚款135欧元（约合129英镑），未穿背心或不佩戴反光器的骑手将被罚款35欧元（约合30英镑）。[1]
这一举措旨在应对电动滑板车事故的急剧上升。[1]数据显示，巴黎去年有79人在电动滑板车事故中丧生，较前年的45人增加，同期受伤人数达到1100人，增幅为33%。[1]此外，法国私人电动滑板车拥有量为欧洲最高，截至2023年约有250万人拥有。[1]
现有规定已禁止14岁以下儿童骑行电动滑板车，禁止一人载客，并将最高时速限制在25公里/小时。[1]巴黎在2023年禁止了租赁电动滑板车的运营，该禁令在公投中获得90%的支持率。[1]
Paris authorities have introduced new safety requirements for electric scooter riders in response to a sharp rise in accidents across the city. [1] Riders must now wear approved helmets and high-visibility vests while using e-scooters on public roads, with failure to comply resulting in financial penalties. [1] Those riding without an approved helmet face a fine of €135 (£129), while riders lacking a vest or reflective gear are subject to a €35 (£30) penalty. [1]
The regulatory crackdown follows alarming accident statistics in Paris. [1] Last year, 79 people died in e-scooter-related incidents, a significant increase from 45 deaths the previous year, while injuries rose 33 percent to 1,100 cases. [1] France has the highest private e-scooter ownership in Europe, with approximately 2.5 million people owning the vehicles as of 2023. [1] Existing Paris regulations already prohibit children under 14 from riding e-scooters, ban passenger carrying, and impose a maximum speed limit of 25 kilometers per hour. [1] In 2023, Paris banned rental e-scooters following a public vote that garnered 90 percent support, though only 8 percent of eligible voters participated in the referendum. [1]
