Skateboards, skates, skateboards are used on the streets of Ecuador without control or regulation. But in other countries, public roads like sidewalks are not allowed on roads to avoid unfortunate accidents. These vehicles, especially the electronic ones, can develop more than 12 kilometers per hour.

Skates of all kinds, as well as bicycles, tricycles, strollers, motorbikes and motorcycles… may not circulate on roads, sidewalks, under the threat of imprisonment, heavy fines. (OR)

In cities like Madrid, Paris, New York, Buenos Aires, etc., it is no longer possible to ride an electric skateboard due to the large number of accidents that caused serious injuries to scooter users and vehicle drivers who were injured by said electric skateboard.

Romobil or electric skateboard or electric skateboard may only be used in parks with special paths for amusement, but not on public roads for motor vehicles and pedestrians. (OR)

Fausto Rivera

The use of these elements should be regulated. Likewise, it is necessary to regulate the use of bicycles, motorcycles and pedestrian traffic, for which it is also necessary to improve signaling and carry out educational campaigns on the roads.

Sidewalks, on the other hand, are for pedestrians only. (OR)

Jose Ortoneda

I absolutely agree that the use of electric scooters or skateboards should be regulated, because in this way accidents can be avoided, and in the worst case, deaths, due to disorder and compliance with traffic regulations, which are generally not encountered by those who travel in these small vehicles that are more for recreation or distraction in certain sectors; because they must not be used on busy roads if the traffic rules are not fully respected.

Regulation is prevention, and prevention is health and well-being. (OR)

Forbid it and sanction it, gentlemen mayors and police officers!

They want to ride in these vehicles, go to a special ice rink, if there isn’t one, I can just make one for them, for example in Guayaquil it can be in the Samanes park, if there is no space, don’t build anything because this practice is not Ecuadorian, such scooters are imported more Asian merchants who do business in Ecuador; They are not that expensive, the sellers make money and put a light, fast, very dangerous vehicle on the streets, driven by young people who are irresponsible to traffic laws, drive at high speed, cause accidents on sidewalks and streets. They forced me and my neighbors in Urdes; skaters are men and women, they make you fall, and cowards run away, they don’t help you get up. (OR)
