[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Guri City in Gyeonggi Province forcibly collected electric scooters that were illegally parked within the city to ensure pedestrian safety amid an increase in electric scooter accidents.

On the 30th, the city announced, "We have forcibly collected about 50 electric scooters that electric scooter companies were operating by illegally parking them on sidewalks around Inchang-dong and Sutaek-dong, and we have also ordered the companies to remove the electric scooters installed by the city on their own."

With the deregulation of personal mobility devices (electric scooters) leading to an increase in users and related accidents nationwide, the city plans to enforce strict crackdowns, including forcibly collecting electric scooters illegally parked within the city.

Once the personal mobility device-related legislation currently underway is enacted, the city plans to establish specific measures for the operation of electric scooters accordingly.

Meanwhile, the city had also forcibly collected 330 electric scooters that were illegally parked and operated in September.
