SocietyRussia plans to ban two-person e-scooter rides and couriers on sidewalks
Russia’s Transport Ministry has drafted traffic-code amendments covering personal mobility devices. Some e-scooters and e-bikes would require an M-category license and be barred from sidewalks and pedestrian zones. The proposals also prohibit two people riding one e-scooter, ban couriers from sidewalks, and introduce paid parking in designated areas. The draft is due to be published for public discussion.
