Parisians vote to ban rental e-scooters from French capital by huge margin

Results show 90% support for ridding Paris of self-service scooters' whose riders are accused of flouting rules of the road

Parisians have voted to rid the streets of the French capital of rental electric scooters, with an overwhelming 90% of votes cast supporting a ban, official results show.

Paris was a pioneer when it introduced e-scooters, or trottinettes, in 2018 as the city's authorities sought to promote non-polluting forms of urban transport.
