Scooters in Oslo were supposed to be a real hit, and that is undoubtedly the case. They quickly won the hearts of city residents, just like cars rented for minutes. Unfortunately, as is often the case, something that is good may also turn out to be a real nightmare for the city. Drunk scooter drivers and people who do not follow the instructions for using these devices. First of all, the problem concerns the incorrect "setting" of the scooter. Equipment is left in inappropriate places, blocking and obstructing traffic, and even causing a hazard to road traffic. 

Scooters in Oslo - where is the problem?

Unfortunately, the statistics are not positive. Scooters have been in Oslo since March this year. It may be hard to believe, but since then, 250 people have been injured in an accident involving this mode of transport. Reason? Alcohol! When riding a scooter, we join the traffic, so as in the case of a car, when getting on a scooter, we must be sober and prudent, be careful on the road. The second reason is fires, as a result of an explosion of batteries in the scooter. What's more, you can get health damage by charging the batteries of similar models at home, as they can be the source of fires.

Use the scooter for health.

Scooter - still a great means of transport ...

Despite the problems and threats described above, the scooter is still a means of transport that is worth traveling in Oslo. What are the advantages of such a solution?
  • saving time, we do not stand in traffic jams going to work,
  • support for ecological solutions that are good for us, people, nature and the entire planet,
  • an excellent form of exercise: we strengthen the muscles of the legs, abdomen and spine. In a word, we have a good influence on our condition,
