\u201cQuite clearly there are problems with Lime scooters and it\u2019s been shown that the same problem that erupted here yesterday\u2026 these same incidents have been reported in New Zealand over the last few days and it\u2019s resulted in these e-scooters being taken off the streets there.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve also happened in the United States. They\u2019ve happen in Switzerland. There\u2019s quite clearly a problem.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey said they were going to fix the problem in New Zealand — it didn\u2019t happen. There was a problem in Brisbane a couple of days ago where two boys were also hurt\u2026 we had an incident here in Adelaide.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey can\u2019t demonstrate that they\u2019re safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
But Lime\u2019s Mitchell Price disagrees, telling Leon \u201cthe scooters are safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously one incident is one too many,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve had 21,000 rides in Adelaide with 10,000 users. Does Frank want to ban all forms of transport?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo Frank\u2019s point that these aren\u2019t safe: Frank, we have rolled out a numerous updates, we have done an update last week\u2026 every single scooter in Adelaide is being physically brake checked, quality assurance checked, taken back to the warehouse\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea of this trial is that we can learn about how we can move forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe scooters are safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
