@cbcbritishcolumbia: Vancouver police say a woman is dead after her e-scooter collided with a car on Commercial Drive. Police confirmed she wasn't wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. As the CBC's Jon Hernandez reports, e-scooter injuries are mounting in B.C., with more and more people riding the devices. #CBCNews #Helmets #EScooter #Vancouver #BritishColumbia
This is why I prefer bikes over scooters- I was in san Fran and Seattle and I didn’t see the pot hole and went flying!! And most ones you rent don’t have a helmet attached like the bikes do. They are so unstable unless the ground is completely flat

Helmets should be mandatory! TBIs are serious and can be life altering or worse

I just saw a lime scooter rider cross boundary, near kingsway, not at an intersection, just randomly on the busy road and didn’t even look both ways. Cars from BOTH directions slammed their brakes and even stopped after the scooter guy rode past because everyone was in shock. There were about 6 cars all stopped and we all looked at each other like “holy sh**, what an idiot!”. Not gonna lie, if ANY of the drivers weren’t paying attention for a split second, that scooter guy would’ve been dead.

They should have their own licensing and standardization process, they are very dangerous at high speeds and the turning radius is awful.

In Quebec, it’s the law to wear a helmet when using an electric vehicle - e-scooter/bike etc. You also must be 18+ in order to ride them.

There was a guy riding one of these at full speed on the sidewalk on Seymour. I had just stepped out of a restaurant when he came flying by, missing me by inches. He was so close to the entrance that everyone nearby stopped to check if I was okay. I can’t imagine what would’ve happened if he had hit me at that speed. Also, even he must’ve thought it was a close call because he tried to brake and stop, but he was going so fast that he ended up way down the sidewalk before he could. He turned around and kept looking back at the crowd that had gathered around me.

it's a law on bicycles so it is obviously the same for e-scooters
