Scooter company threatens to kick unsafe downtown Jacksonville riders off its app
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Electric scooters are fun and popular in downtown Jacksonville, but as News4Jax reported last week, they can also be dangerous if used the wrong way. New tonight, we have a warning from The operations manager of one of the electric scooter vendors issued a warning to riders Friday. Three weeks ago, hundreds of electric scooters were brought to Jacksonville as part of a one-year pilot program to bring new life into downtown. That’s why on Friday, the SPIN electric scooter company, one of the four companies with scooters downtown, held a safety event to address those concerns. Last week, News4Jax watched a scooter rider traveling in the wrong direction and almost get hit by a car.
