e-scooters in which case you'd have to have the guards going out confiscating them Well I think this is the issue and I don't think they fully know that yet and as someone senior in government said to me earlier in the week what happens if you have people who are using these things legitimately within you know the full rigours of the law Yeah

But what does it mean for renters?
