The Infrastructure Decree introduced several novelties; for the Highway Code , including those concerning the use of electric scooters. For some time there was talk of the possibility; that the Government could intervene to modify the regulations that regulated the use of these means for micro-mobility; electric . Electric scooters have had a strong diffusion in recent times but their growth & egrave; probably been a while too messy.
Failure to comply with some rules already have; existing and the too shrewd use by people of these vehicles, have led to several problems including accidents that have also had fatal outcomes. Precisely for this reason, for more & ugrave; parts had asked for an urgent intervention by the Government. Intervention that & egrave; arrived within the Infrastructure Decree through a specific amendment .
As we have seen, among the novelties; we have the speed reduction; maximum from 25 to 20 km/h and the obligation of a reflective jacket half an hour after sunset or in conditions of poor visibility. In addition to this, from 1 July 2022 the new models will have to be equipped with of direction indicators and brakes on both wheels . These are technical equipment that the scooters already have to have from 2024; in circulation.
The insurance obligation & egrave; still under discussion but the obligatory helmet for everyone and the plate have not arrived. These new rules have caused discussion. There is who has judged them fair and c & # 39; & egrave; instead, those who have judged them useless. There are also other people who have stated that the new technical requirements will force you to put your wallet again to adapt your vehicle or even to get to change it in order not to risk running with an outlaw model.
C & # 39; & egrave; therefore a great debate going on among users . For this reason, we decided to have a chat with Magdalena Krenek, general manager of Voi Technology Italia , a Swedish micro-mobility company which offers sharing services in partnership with local public administrations, with which we had already had; way of talking long ago on the subject of the rules of the use of scooters.
SATISFACTION WITH THE NEW RULES 
We then asked Magdalena Krenek what she thought of the news introduced by the Infrastructure Decree through the amendment. If the new rules are going in the right direction or if it would have been better to focus attention on something else.
The general manager of Voi Technology Italia wanted to underline his satisfaction for the new rules since all the proposals made by your company have been accepted; together with other realities; of the sector.
The amendment effectively accepted all the proposals that Voi Technology, together with other operators, made to the Ministry of Transport.
Satisfaction also because their scooters are already; & quot; ready & quot; as they are equipped with direction indicators.
We were the first to introduce directional arrows on our vehicles. This investment is has been at the forefront of providing a greater sense of safety to other traffic players, who in this way can learn about the turning intentions of scooter drivers. Likewise, scooter drivers can feel more comfortable. sure of their movements. Today the legislation has proved us right: the directional arrows on scooters are an essential tool and not a commodity.
The reduction in speed was also judged positive; maximum. Within their safety report they already had highlighted that the first factor of insecurity for scooter drivers, so as the first factor causing road accidents, & egrave; speed.
For this reason, our position, in order to allow micro-mobility; to develop its full potential, & egrave; always been to reduce the speed; maximum of vehicles on the roads. This means a maximum of 30 km/h for cars and motorcycles and 20 km/h, instead of 25 km/h, as & egrave; been in Italy until today, for scooters.
Precisely on the subject of speed, to ensure greater safety to all those who approach the use of scooters for the first time, through their app & egrave; possible to further limit the speed; maximum at 15 km/h. The Voiager 4 scooters , launched at the beginning of 2020, already they have double brakes and double suspensions, to ensure greater stability; and driver safety.
Speaking with Magdalena Krenek we also asked how she assessed the obligation to adaptation of scooters already; and if there was a risk that “outlaws” would remain in circulation. For the general manager of Voi Technology Italia, a distinction must be made between those for private use and those of sharing services.
Trivially, starting from the timing indicated in the text, the scooter sharing companies that have not adapted to the indications will no longer be able to; operate. These are the rules of the game: competitiveness; & egrave; a & rsquo; excellent rule of the market, because & eacute; it allows you to always improve, but investments are required to do so. Only the most important companies & ldquo; sane & rdquo; and with greater attention to innovation and safety they will survive, with great benefit for users. The situation is different for private scooters. Even these will no longer be able to circulate and owners will have to make modifications to their vehicles or change them. At what percentage people will not retrofit their vehicles & egrave; predictable today, but certainly it will be able to happen. It will be the authorities; competent to decide how best to proceed in these cases.
Finally, we asked whether the new rules that are causing so much discussion, especially those relating to necessity; of having to adapt the old vehicle with relative economic expense, may lead some people to stop using electric scooters .
Here too, according to Magdalena, we must distinguish between private vehicles from those offered in sharing. With regard to those owned, there & # 39; & egrave; all the time to adjust. In any case, & egrave; difficult to predict how the owners will welcome the new rules.
As with the previous question, the answer is; different depending on whether they are micro-mobility services; in sharing or private scooters. In the first case the user will not have to; change means and will not have to; spend money on any updates, so we don't see why they should no longer & ugrave; use the service: on the contrary, having greater security guarantees, we hope the opposite can happen, giving micro mobility; on a scooter, more chances to be able to put your potential into practice. As for private scooters, the decree provides all the time necessary to update the vehicles according to the new regulations: the proposal & egrave; that come into force in the course of 2024. Despite this & ograve; we cannot predict how the new legislation will be; welcomed by electric scooter owners.
