Riding an electric scooter through city streets has become the latest trend.
That being said, the speedy, silent mode of transport has come under some controversy.
Whilst on one side some see the value of the eco-friendly mode of commute, others are worried about the dangers.
This has led to cities across the world hastily coming up with new regulations for scootering.
In a hilarious viral video, a woman who is being interviewed complaining about new safety regulations gets hit by a car.
Classic.
