The city of Klagenfurt presented the "Krone" with the new measures in the fight against those scooter drivers who simply leave their vehicles behind carelessly after renting them. It is not only the operators who will be fined for offenses, but also the users themselves. 

When the new rules for electric scooters come into force in Klagenfurt on July 1 - as reported - operators and customers will have to adjust to a number of changes. One of the most important points is probably the proper parking of the two-wheelers. They will then only be allowed to be parked in the designated zones. In this way, the city hopes to finally get the prevailing chaos under control.
