Brussels bans shared scooters, shifting users to private ownership

Brussels is mandating the removal of shared scooters from its streets, a policy shift that will force users toward private scooter ownership. A survey of 458 users shows nearly three-quarters regret the ban, with 15% calling the scooter indispensable. The move signals a regulatory reversal on micro-mobility that could reshape urban transport patterns and create a secondary market for private scooters.
