Ke lawe nei i nā scooter uila ma luna o ʻAmelika

Aloha iā lākou a inaina paha iā lākou, aia nā scooter uila ma nā wahi āpau - ke kolo nei ma nā alanui o ke kūlanakauhale a littered ma nā ala hele, i mea e weliweli ai nā poʻe hele wāwae a me nā mea hoʻokele pono e kaʻana like i ke ala.

A i kēia manawa ua loaʻa iā lākou nā paikikala hoʻokumu kahua paʻa e like me ke ʻano o ka lawe like ʻana i nā kaʻa ma waho o nā kaʻa a me nā kaʻa ma ka US

Wahi a kahi hōʻike hou i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka Pōʻakolu e ka National Association of City Transportation Officials, lawe nā mea holo i nā huakaʻi 38.5 miliona ma nā scooters uila i ka makahiki 2019, e huakaʻi ana i nā huakaʻi he 36.5 miliona ma nā paikikala i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia.

Ua huakaʻi huakaʻi nā poʻe holo ma 3 miliona paikikala wāwae hehi wāwae, i hiki ke kiʻi ʻia a hoʻokuʻu ʻia i nā wahi a pau, a he 6.5 miliona mau paeka uila i emi iho ma nā uila uila i ka makahiki 2019, akā hōʻike ka hōʻike i ka helu ʻana o kēia mau helu.

ʻO hoʻokahi kumu o ka ulu wikiwiki o nā scooter uila: ke ʻeke nei nā ʻoihana no ke kūlana strate i ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo micromobility Revolution, kahi e ʻapo nei nā mea kūʻai aku i nā scooter a me nā paikikala no nā huakaʻi pōkole a me ka ʻimi ʻana i nā mea ʻē aʻe i ka hoʻokele kaʻa i hoʻoulu ʻia e ka mana o nā kelepona paʻalima.

Ua hala nā huakaʻi 84 miliona i nā lawelawe micromobility ma 2019, ʻoi aku i ka pāpālua o ka helu mai ka makahiki i hala, e like me ka hōʻike. Ua kōkua nā scooter uila i ka hoʻokele ʻana i kēlā kū, a ʻoi aku ma mua o 85,000 o lākou i loaʻa no ka hoʻohana lehulehu i ka US me ka hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā paikikala hoʻokumu 57,000 i hoʻonohonoho ʻia.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, kū nā ʻoihana scooter i nā pilikia mai nā ʻaoʻao āpau, e like me ka luku ʻana, ʻaihue, nā hōʻeha holo, hoʻokūkū ikaika a me nā rula hoʻonāukiuki i nā kūlanakauhale o ka ʻāina.

Eia nō naʻe ke hoʻomau nei ka ʻoihana a me nā kapitalista mākaʻikaʻi, nā hui holoholo a me nā mea hana kaʻa kaʻa maʻamau i ninini i miliona miliona i loko o ka ʻoihana hou.

Ua hoʻomohala ʻia nā ʻōnaehana hoʻokaʻa kaʻawale kūmole ma ka US ma hope o ke kāhea ʻana o nā kūlanakauhale iā lākou i loko, i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Kate Fillin-Yeh, ka luna hoʻomalu no ka National Association for City Transportation Officials.

"I ka makahiki a me ka hapalua i hala, he holoholona ʻokoʻa loa ia," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "ʻO nā ʻoihana i kekahi mau hihia e hoʻāʻo nei e paʻi kekahi i kekahi i ka mākeke."

Ke nānā nei nā mea hana kaʻa a me nā ʻoihana hoʻokele, a ua hana kekahi i kā lākou mau pāʻani ponoʻī i ke ākea me nā makemake nui aʻe ma mua o nā scooter wale nō.

Ua kūʻai ʻo Uber iā Jump Bikes, kahi kaʻa uila a me ka hui scooter e hana ana ma kahi o ʻelua mau kūlanakauhale he ʻumikūmālua, a i ka makahiki i hala aku nei ua hoʻopuka kālā ʻia he $ 30 miliona ma Lime, aia ma 100 mau kūlanakauhale a puni ka honua.

ʻO Ford, ka mea nāna i kūʻai i ka hui scooter Spin i Nowemapa, i ʻōlelo ʻo ka hoʻouna ʻana i nā scooter uila e kōkua i ka ʻoihana e hoʻohuli i nā kaʻa kūʻokoʻa ma ke kūkulu ʻana i nā pilina koʻikoʻi me nā kūlanakauhale o US ke hana pū lākou e hana i nā rula a kūkulu i nā hanana.

Inā paha e like me ka piʻi ʻana o nā scooter uila i ka pō, no ka mea ua hana lākou. Ua hoʻolaha aku kekahi mau ʻoihana iā lākou ma nā kūlanakauhale āpau me ka ʻole o ka ʻae a me ka ʻae ʻole, e hoʻomanaʻo ana i nā luna kūloko i ka wā i hoʻokumu ʻia ai nā ʻoihana holo e like me Uber i kā lākou mākeke i nā makahiki i hala aku nei me ka ʻole o ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo.

Akā ua aʻo nā kūlanakauhale mai ia ʻike a ua ʻoi aku ka hakakā e pili ana i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā scooter. Ua kipaku ʻo San Francisco, ʻo Bird, Lime a me Spin a hoʻokumu i ka hoʻokūkū no nā ʻae, a hāʻawi iā lākou i nā Scoot underdogs a me Skip a kāpae i ka helu o nā scooter hiki iā lākou ke kau. ʻAʻole ʻae ʻo New York City e hoʻokaʻawale i nā scooter uila, ʻoiai ua hoʻokumu ʻia ke kānāwai e hoʻololi i ka lula.

Ma ke ʻano he kūlana no ka hana ʻana ma laila, koi nā kūlanakauhale he nui i nā ʻoihana scooter e kaʻana like i kā lākou mau pūʻali o ka ʻikepili wahi, e hōʻike ana i kahi o nā scooter a me nā ala a lākou e hele ai. Hiki ke waiwai i kēlā me kēia e hoʻolālā i nā ala kaʻa kaʻa a me nā kahua paʻa lima a i ʻole e hoʻomaopopo i nā ʻano o nā kaʻa

Hāpai pū kekahi i nā nīnau e pili ana i ka pilikino pilikino. ʻAʻole pili ka ʻikepili kahi i hāʻawi ʻia i nā kūlanakauhale i nā inoa, nā leka uila a i ʻole nā ​​ʻike e ʻike pololei ʻia, akā "inā ʻoe e lawa i nā kikoʻī GPS a hoʻomaka i ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā ʻikepili ʻikepili ʻē aʻe, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e ʻike ai i nā kanaka kikoʻī," wahi a Regina Clewlow, CEO. o Populus, kahi hui e kōkua i nā kūlanakauhale e loaʻa pono i ka ʻikepili no ke kulekele a me ka hoʻolālā ʻana ʻoiai e pale ana i ka pilikino.

"Inā kū kou poʻo i ka pōhaku ma 20 mau mile i ka hola, ʻaʻole ʻoe e ala aʻe," i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Christopher Ziebell, ka luna olakino lumi lumi pilikia ma Dell Seton Medical Center ma Austin. "He mau huila liʻiliʻi kēia ma luna o lākou, no laila ʻaʻole mea nui no ka mea holo e lele lele ana."

Ke haʻohaʻo nei kekahi mau mea nānā ʻoihana i ka lōʻihi o ka hopena o ka scooter uila. Ua kāhea ke kākāʻōlelo hoʻokele kūpuna ʻo Maryann Keller i nā loiloi piliona kālā i hōʻike ʻia no kekahi mau hui scooter he mea ʻole. He ʻoihana waiwai nui nā Scooter, a aia kekahi mau ala e hoʻokaʻawale ai i nā hoʻohālikelike o nā mea hoʻokūkū, e paʻakikī ana i nā ʻoihana e kū i waho, i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

"Hele mai kēia mau mea liʻiliʻi a hele aku," wahi a Keller.

No ka poʻe e makemake ana e hele ka scooter fad, pono paha lākou e kali iki.
