So you can't take it on the bus, you can't take it on the train, the dart or whatever. voice-verified

But whether that is observed is another question entirely. voice-verified
Now, we heard a lot about Paris and e-scooters. voice-verified
So we go to Elaine Cobb, first of all, Paris-based journalist, to hear about the experience there. voice-verified
Elaine, good morning. voice-verified
Good morning, Pat. voice-verified
Now, we heard about the ban on rental schemes, but you still see e-scooters around Paris. voice-verified
Now, what about helmets? voice-verified
Are they required of all riders of e-scooters? voice-verified
Now, the question of insurance and registration, I mean, do they know with these private scooters, which are still permitted in Paris, do they know who owns them and do they have to carry insurance? voice-verified
Have any of them tried geo-blocking where they can actually control the hired scooters in the same way anyone who's used maybe a modern golf cart will know that if you approach the greens, for example, in a golf cart, the geo-blocking will stop the buggy in its tracks and it can't proceed because it's going on a prohibited space. voice-verified

Have any of them in France generally tried this kind of tactic to make sure that scooters obey the speed limits? voice-verified
OK, so there's been a side effect, I believe. voice-verified

Well, standing on the scooter is not active travel. voice-verified
It's standing. voice-verified
That's all you're doing. voice-verified
