While we in the Netherlands may have to wait till 2023 for the shared e-scooter to hit the streets, they are well established in many cities across Europe. At Cenex Nederland we believe that e-scooters have a place in the transport network, offering first and last mile travel solutions that are inclusive and sustainable. However, to avoid the pitfalls that accompany the introduction of the new service (e.g. dangerous use, cluttered sidewalks) we should learn from the experiences of other cities.
