Episode Details

E-scooters are getting a major safety overhaul as the government cracks down on reckless riding—no minors under 18, mandatory helmets and high-vis gear, and soon, licensing and sales bans. But with kids as young as eight zooming through sidewalks and ignoring 20km/h limits, communities are terrified. Parents and residents report near-misses and accidents, calling these devices dangerous machines, not toys. Enforcement remains weak, with few fines issued despite widespread violations. Some demand a ban, others hope for better infrastructure and stricter rules—before it’s too late.
