Lime saw the second death of a scooter rider this month.
The incident occurred in Washington, DC, after the rider was shot under an SUV, the Washington Post reported. No charges have been filed.
The new scooter company had its first death in Dallas earlier this month. The runner fell off the scooter and died of blunt trauma to the head. The scooter was found several hundred meters and broken in two, the To post reported. The rider was not wearing a helmet and the death was deemed accidental. Previously, major scooter manufacturers said they were not aware of other vehicle deaths.
Meanwhile, California Governor Jerry Brown has signed a law that removes the requirement for drivers of electronic scooters to wear a helmet. The electronic scooter companies also recommend lanes reserved for scooters. Questions about how to best manage the safety of pedestrians and cyclists occur as the popularity of electronic scooters explodes and spreads across the country.
