自2017年推出滑板车共享项目以来,至少可以说这是一段颠簸的旅程. 这种两轮野兽在全球范围内造成了严重破坏, 这让大多数城市在努力跟上管理和立法步伐的同时,陷入了司法狂潮. Some cities, like London and New York, 是否已有严格的法律禁止滑板车共享项目, but this will change soon.

Scooter companies, including Bird and Uber, 在过去的一年里,他们花了近50万美元游说将他们的企业带到纽约. State officials recently passed a bill 放宽当地对踏板车和电动自行车的限制,承认这种出行趋势的流行. According to the National Association of City Transportation Officials, 38.5 million scooter-share trips were taken in the US in 2018. This is twice as many trips taken than in 2017. The new legislation is quite broad sweeping, 为市政当局决定如何处理头盔要求和地理限制等具体问题留下了空间. For start, 纽约市仍计划将滑板车共享项目排除在曼哈顿之外,以尽量减少拥堵. 个人电动滑板车仍将被允许上路.

虽然全球滑板车的载客量达到了历史最高水平,但人们的情绪并不完全平等. Nashville Mayor, David Briley, 今年6月,在该市发生首例与电动滑板车相关的死亡事件后,该市曾试图禁止电动滑板车. This attempt was rejected by Nashville Metro Council 7-24. Instead, 纳什维尔的滑板车车队规模减少了一半,运营时间也减少了,同时实施了禁行和减速区. This legislative scooter panic isn’t an isolated incident. 今年夏天在巴黎发生了另一起摩托车死亡事件,人们的反应也相当相似. 电动滑板车公司已经暂停或缩减了在该市的业务. The City’s Transport Minister, Elisabeth Borne, will be looking into a new scooter usage framework, acknowledging that the scooter market is “totally anarchic, and this poses safety problems”.

A 公共卫生和交通部门最近的一项研究 2018年秋天,有多少人在骑滑板车时受伤. Alarming highlights from this report include:

  • 在研究的190名受伤骑手中,48%的人年龄在18-29岁之间;
  • 近一半的滑板车伤害涉及头部伤害;
  • Only one person was wearing a helmet;
  • Over 1/3 of injuries occurred on users’ first ever ride;
  • 不到10%的伤害是由于与汽车的相互作用造成的;
  • 超过三分之一的用户报告说,他们受伤的原因是速度过快.

As scooter culture shows no signs of stopping, 安全、和谐地管理滑板车项目至关重要. 电动滑板车项目在大多数城市推出得相当快, without discussions as to where and how they will operate. Companies like Uber took a renegade, “launch first, question later” approach, exhausting city energy trying to design a proper framework. 由于我们仍然处于混乱之中,只有时间才能告诉我们结果如何.

为了帮助掌握这种移动趋势在美国的发展趋势,SmartCitiesDive创建了一个 virtual map that reflects the ever-changing updates on scooter news. 该地图定期更新,涵盖了无桩自行车和无桩滑板车的有趣新闻. 趣闻包括电动滑板车的平均寿命只有三个月! The site also 洛杉矶警局新成立的摩托车执法特别小组. 该团队将确保滑板车远离人行道,不要随意丢弃它们, among other things. 这是否能澄清问题,现在下结论还为时过早. For now, we will settle in knowing it might be a long ride!
