Dockless electric scooter companies have been emerging quickly, with more and more devices adorning the streets of Paris - becoming a fast growing headache for Paris authorities trying to implement safety regulations. Earlier in June, Paris saw its first fatality after a man riding a scooter was killed in a traffic collision in the city center. Fines have already been implemented for riding scooters on the sidewalks, and Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo announced a ban on parking scooters on the pavement. EPA-EFE/IAN LANGSDON
