Dubai is facing a rise in e-scooter accidents, prompting bans in certain neighborhoods. While e-scooters are vital for non-driving residents, safety concerns persist. Calls for educational programs, licensing requirements, and clear regulations instead of outright bans are gaining traction. The need for structured training and enforcement systems to enhance safety for riders and pedestrians is evident. Recent measures by RTA allow foldable e-scooters on public transport under specific safety guidelines, showcasing a balanced approach towards micromobility.
