Small electric vehicles is the present and the future. Low impact, low cost, small footprint. Cities and authorities just need to keep up with the infrastructure for this transportation model.

Scooters aren't intrinsically dangerous. Riding a scooter while stupid - that's dangerous.

Cars take up like 90% of the space for transportation, but gotta ban scooters

The reason scooters are hated is cause Americans hate anything that competes with their cars and makes em have to actually walk

Public roads in most cities are 100% for cars. This must change, cars are not suited for cities.

“I wasn’t wearing a helmet” enough said...

eScooters are brilliant. By comparison, a motorcycle is way more dangerous than an eScooter that travels at 20 mph. It’s people’s idiocy and lack of civil sense the real problem.

Well 1 or 2 scooter injuried per day, what about car injured/killed people per day?

I'm Israeli and I used a bionic kick scooter, maaan, you have no idea how practical it is in Tel Aviv but also in Jerusalem! The population is booming and also because of it the economy is booming. The overcrowded transportation is unbearable and due to the population growth it will be more unbearable every year. The Knesset should start legislating laws and initiating infrastructure projects (like the Netherlands) promoting alternative (bicycle) commute. Otherwise, it sucks, even for the rich, traffic jams are only one problem, finding cheap parking is the other. Even my wealthy friends have to take the overcrowded buses.

Bottom line is, the public needs to be “more” educated on the usage of public roads and sidewalks. If you cross the road without stopping and looking both sides first, you’ll get hit by a car...it’s very simple.

Compared to cars, if you don't live too far from your work place, it makes sens. It Doesn't take a parking space, doesn't pollute, doesn't make noise. Eco friendly

2:50 safety first Has about 5 scooters in one and a dog

Oil Mafia Lobbies against Scooters People want to Be Free of Toxic Oil

20k? 500$? Really? I got mine for 200$, the range is 25km and the speed is 25km/h so far it has worked flawless.

I LOVE the added milk crate basket on the back for his puppy or a sack of groceries! :))

$1.15 per minute to rent a scooter? Wouldn't it be cheaper to go by taxi?

4:50 dangerous scooters, meanwhile showing a video of a man being hit while crossing a red light.

This is well done. But it costs $1 to activate. And 15 cents a minute. I just want the facts to be correct!

City: *Bans E-Scooters* Also city: *Ugh this traffic, why cant anyone think of something good*

I just bought me one. Hope they don't ban them here in Phoenix, Arizona. I'm retired and use it for short commutes around where I live and enjoy it. I wear a helmet and use day time flashing lights.

In copenhagen we got an advantage....... Infrastrukture (bikelanes everywhere) 😎

Scooters are not the problem - they are private solution to DYSFUNCTIONAL PUBLIC TRANSIT. Scooters are FIRST/LAST mile (kilometer) gap closer. BUT, in the SUBURBS, that gap is several miles long!

Tel Aviv looks nice.

Ironically electric scooters were invented in 1890

why this lady ride a scooter without helmet?

I prefer my OnewheelXR :p But having E-scooters available for people to cleanly travel is a great idea. Anything to get more cars off the road and for a cleaner future.

In Denmark scooters are regulated and part of everyday trafic. They have to ride in the bike lanes, are restricted to 25 km per hour and has to be equipped with lights in front and back. No problemo.

Wow tel aviv looks awesome. Love Israel and it's people.

Doesnt wear helmet, gets hurt. *Is shocked*

This video made me to buy a e scooter although I have bike but its handy can take anywhere

For a flat small City it's perfect.. in US we have large distance problem

Look at how well Israelis speak English. Whereas the reporter can’t even pronounce Rothschild properly.

I dont think a scooter is dangerous is depending how stupid you are to ride it. It's not fault of a scooter if u fall on the ground it's yours 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why are people destroying a scooter that is not theirs is a better question. Start handing out Jail Time

4:48 that idea isn't too bad. In Delhi, several proposals for making Connaught Place a no car zone have been raised and will be carried out in coming years.

Just wear a helmet

I want those scooters to be in India. I love Israel. Be safe guys.

Just taking a sec to appreciate how well all those Israeli speak English 🙏

i used to ride motorcycle in SEA. i can buy a car, but the traffic is unbearable, so riding a motorcycle is the most convenient. i think electric bike (something like motorcycle but much lightweight) would be better and more stable to ride than scooter, we can carry some groceries too. i really miss riding motorcycle esp when i can feel the wind without the hassle of pedaling. i live in U.S. now.

I love how he brings his doggo

Why ban scooters?! why?!

I think it's sad ppl vandalise a useful commodity

The reason why scooters are getting banned in the US is because people leave them in places that are practically littering the walkways, if people weren't as inconsiderate and selfish the ban would've not happened.

Metro manila in the philippines should try this scooter thing. Traffic is getting worst every day.

So ...we have a parking space problem in SF ...as well as traffic congestion problem ...so, now your fighting a scooter problem to unravel the problem of traffic and parking? When does it all end???

I like scooters, just be carfully, I love Israel! 🙋💕

Wow I didnt know scooters were going to be unsafe if people rode them without proper head gear. Thanks model for putting things in perspective.......

What's really cool is that you can ride electric scooter pretty much all year round in Tel Aviv due to climate. So you pretty much don't need a car and whenever is the case you can get taxi or carshare. Should save a lot of money too

The difference between Israel and America on this and other issues. You see in Israel when a big foreign corporation or even Israeli corporation for that matter comes in and gives a service option for the public, it is usually widely welcomed as a gesture of public consideration and acknowledgement of the Israeli economy. But in America it's a different story because the average Joe is perceived as a target of the big corporations wanting to devour his money etc. So while in Israel we feel thankful to be acknowledged, in America people might feel stomped on and taken advantage of.

8:43....$4.69 a gallon yea i'd be on a scooter also.

I can't wait to try an electric scooter on the Anthony Henday highway next January and February during rush hour.

ok go on one. forreal they are the best things ever. if you're scared you can go super slowly

Wall Street did an oppsie! !

Would be pretty nice to see these spread over everywhere. Specially developing nations. But they’re not pretty Friendly towards bicycles. No wonder how you can survive on the street with a small scooter. Dedicated scooter lanes. Entry restrictions for large vehicles could promote this and make it greener too.

Problem with scooters is the same problem with bikes and possibly anything that is more maneuverable, and that they break the laws more because they can get away with it more. With people becoming more time poor and want instant results, impatience is always tempting them. Then it is only a matter of time before people on bikes and scooter get into an accident or heated road rage resulting in injuries or death due to breaking the law.

Saw an infographic about traffic via different mode of transportation. How much space does it take to move 20 people with personal cars vs bikes vs public transportation?

They dont kill anyone...unlike cars...

We need that scooter in India

yes like a big yellow sticker that says extreme caution if operated in wet areas. especially on a wooden bridge. They are especially slick I've had a couple bicycles just disappear out from underneath me.

That Hyperider is awesome

I don’t have a car so I buy a scooter hahah 😍so beautiful

2:38 doggy

The interviewer is a bit intrusive and borderline impolite the way he interrupts his guests, raises his voice, the ton of voice. You are there to deliver info, not to please your inflated ego.

These scooters left lying around, unprotected are a wonderful source of components to be mined - batteries, motors, wheels bearings.

Ban cars...

Who else clicked on this video because the girl on the thumbnail looked👌👌

Cant wait to see electric scooters in Canada . I don’t think we have any yet

Thanks

4:56 and 5:30 here you go. We all know the role the video thumbnail played in you clicking on this video.

Scooter haters ...I hate them . scooters are cool 👍

I'm shocked that my car centric city actually has adopted these scooters with no major issue. Pedestrians, scooters, cars, and transit are doing fine.

Great insight buddy, i dont understand how they get around and manage theft

Great country with beautiful people 💞

You can't compare Israel to United States. It's a country where everybody must observe I'm just saying religious laws. The United States has 50 individual states. With its own Constitution. The fact that the entire country shuts down from Friday to Sunday morning. Makes it much easier and that there is literally no public transportation. There is no backlash in case you miss work because the entire country is shut down. Because 99.9% of his citizens are Israelis. So they are observing the same culture. Don't like you go let's say in Seoul Korea where people are still up shopping at 3 a.m. in the morning. Monday through Friday. So, I don't even understand how y'all thought that y'all could even compare the United States to Israel in terms of these scooters.

Why was the famous model not wearing protective gear or a least a helmet? Is like the argument that "motorcycles are dangerous", there are risks like in everything we do in life, but if you take a motorcycle safety course, buy and wear good quality protective gear, educate yourself, get enough experience and follow the law, it is very difficult you get in a bad situation, but because many want to ride shirtless, reckless and in flipflops really bad things happen and they call them "accidents"

Interviewing for beginners - let the interviewee talk instead of repeating what they've just said.

Rental scooters suck they are street liter, they a toy for young males left everywhere and anywhere

I'm a simple man. I saw Shlomit Malka. I clicked.

The US is heavily built on decades of car infrastructure investment - the time we are able to embrace alternatives will be the time we’re brave enough to rebuild our cities for pedestrians, bikes/scooters, and transit. It’s happened in the past-massive overhauls to city infrastructure (first from horses/streetcars to cars/buses, then again with interstate highways and urban renewal)-so it’s definitely possible. Right now there’s little to no infrastructure for bikes/scooters in the US-too dangerous for car-made streets, & too dangerous for pedestrian sidewalks, which have already thinned from road expansion / street parking-and public knowledge and culture around bikes/scooters hasn’t reached its tipping point in the US. Glad to see an example of it being integrated here. Also look at Sevilla, Amsterdam, and Cuba for other examples. 🚲

In America I think that its not that we hate scooters, we hate what people do with the scooters, they leave them ever where, blocking the sidewalk, on peoples and business' private property, they pile up and look like garbage. Scooter drivers also don't understand that pedestrians have the right of way. To many scooter drivers attitude is me me me, I can do whatever I want and you have to deal with it. Nope we don't have to deal with it, show more respect for your fellow human beings and maybe they will not take out their frustration with you on the scooters your rubbing in their faces.

How is this a solution for Sabbath when you're still violating the transportation laws and you are still making money? The title needs to be changed, it doesn't make sense.

WE 💙 ISRAEL!! 😊🇮🇱💪

This is the debate over urban cycling and bike lanes all over again.

The problem is not with escooters but with the predatory business practices of the businesses offering this product and service.

The dislike are from people of Palestine

🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

2:11 I like how there is a cat in the video and one of them runs away in the background of the entrance door camera shot

Wow that model is so beautiful

it's ironic the guy @3:42 said "occupy wallstreet"... when they're occupying palestinian land. SMH

BDS

There is a HUGE backlash starting here. The government is now requiring people to be licensed, and they (alone with ebikes) are causing HUGE amounts of accidents. Since they are "supposed" to be ridden on the streets, they are causing havoc with traffic, along with lots of accidents.

This would work perfectly in the Netherlands. We got the infrastructure with all our bikelanes. Unfortunately, nobody knows about this yet. Lots of people still drive those dirty 2 stroke mopeds.

Palestine.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸❤️👌🏽💯

Scooters itself isn't dangerous, it's people using them, making them dangerous, people need to be educated in traffic behavior.

-Shows video of car running over person on scooter -"E-scooters can be dangerous"

Free Palestine

Long live Palestine

I think interm of personal light transport, we should look how the Japanese handle their situation. They have bicyclist everywhere yet they are able to manage by providing a particular space for parking and also have a special road. To solve the problem, one cannot only know how to ride, but also know how to park and the sets of rules .

Israël shows a good example! Well, riding a scooter in Tel Aviv must be cool! I think, next year will be Scooter year in Europe.
