"The perception of senegal whatsapp resourceelectric scooters and their users in society is extremely tense," said Eldar Murtazin, a leading analyst at Mobile Research Group. "I recently witnessed three different traffic accidents involving three different people on electric scooters. One collided with a taxi when he tried to drive through a red light, another hit a girl so hard that she flew into a flower bed, and the third almost crashed into a mother with a child in a stroller. Unfortunately, such cases are not unique."

Konstantin Ankilov, CEO of TMT Consulting LLC, agrees with Eldar Murtazin.
