As cities axe shared e-scooters, the many more personally owned ones are in a blind spot

In addition to “reckless” rider behaviour, a more recent concern has involved allegations of e‑scooter schemes exceeding contracted caps on numbers and misreporting data.

Key Points: 
  • In addition to “reckless” rider behaviour, a more recent concern has involved allegations of e‑scooter schemes exceeding contracted caps on numbers and misreporting data.
  • This has prompted Brisbane, Canberra and Townsville in Australia and Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand to cancel the operator Beam’s licence in their cities.
  • The report to the Sunshine Coast Council noted: Community sentiment does not appear to differentiate between personally owned and hired e‑scooters.

Why bans are not the answer

  • But bans are ultimately not the answer: e‑scooters are here whether we like it or not.
  • Despite ongoing questions around their legality, sales of personal/private e‑scooters have grown by around 20% a year since 2018.
  • It overlooks the potentially greater burdens from personal e‑scooters, which are capable of higher speeds than shared e‑scooters, which are speed-limited.

Lessons from New Zealand

  • In New Zealand, our team’s research, which we’ll present at a conference in November 2024, suggests 5-7% of people own e‑scooters.
  • Around 400,000 e‑scooters were imported from 2018 to 2023, according to New Zealand Statistics.
  • Yet most academic research globally has focused on shared e‑scooters.
  • New Zealand has comparatively standardised laws on how personal e‑scooters are classified and used.

Australian rules vary wildly

  • We have seen “catch-up” policies and rules that vary greatly across the country.
  • These range from outright bans on using personal e‑escooters in public spaces to a myriad of different rules around the country.
  • But the speed of shared e‑scooters is easier to determine than for unregistered and unmonitored personal e‑scooters.
  • They get a free pass, as their speed is not a violation of existing rules, whereas their engine capacity is.

We can’t afford to keep ignoring personal e-scooters
