The state capital of Düsseldorf specifies the announced restrictions on rentable e-scooters: As can be seen from a template for the transport committee, operators should only be allowed to set up one electric scooter per 100 inhabitants.
That would halve the 12,700 vehicles that are currently on the road according to the administration.
Düsseldorf - The restrictions in the city center are to be even more drastic: Only 1,800 e-scooters should be allowed here, which should only be parked at fixed stations.
Outside the city center, they will continue to be allowed to be parked anywhere.
