In addition to offering more types of vehicles, O’Quinn says new technology makes them safer for operators and as well as those on foot. “Under normal circumstances, the e-scooters, their maximum speed is 15 miles an hour. But with technology, if they go into an area that you designate as a lower-speed area, you can slow the vehicle’s maximum speed down and even if you want to completely restrict them from that area you can just shut them off," O’Quinn added.
