Currently, the Ministry of Internal Affairs reports that the maximum allowed speed for these vehicles is 25 kilometers per hour.
In Jumabekov's opinion, this speed is too high. As an example, he pointed to the practice in South Korea, where the limit is 15 kilometers per hour.
Children especially suffer from such incidents, often sustaining serious injuries. The residents of the city will support this restriction and will be glad about it,

He also noted that there is already a corresponding mechanism for implementing this initiative. Changes can be made to the software of the scooters at the import stage, which will allow for speed limitation and prevent exceeding the established limit.
Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Oktobyr Urmambetov expressed agreement with the proposal and promised to consider the issue.
In Bishkek, during the warm season, the number of injuries from electric scooter incidents noticeably increases.
