Lime and Wave e-scooters to be withdrawn from Auckland streets

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Auckland Council has ordered Lime and Wave e-scooters be removed from the streets by December 6.
E-scooter operators Beam, Flamingo, Jump and Neuron have been successful gaining licences for the next six months, and will collectively be allowed 3200 e-scooters on the streets from December 3.
The e-scooters have self-braking abilities when going down hills and would not operate between 1am and 6am.
Do you think these conditions will make e-scooter use safer? What else should be done? Let us know in the comments.
