When Lea Weaver was diagnosed with a condition that made walking painful 10 years ago she opted for an e-scooter. Now they're legal in Victoria, she's encouraging more people her age to start riding.
Still, she's glad she no longer has to avoid the police when riding her e-scooter around Melbourne."It just made sense to have that law change – everybody was using scooters anyway.
Not only does she believe they are convenient, Ms Weaver said they were relatively safe, fun and non-polluting. "I feel very safe on scooters, because they're very close to the ground you can just step on and step off."Although Ms Weaver said she always rode slowly and responsibly, that hasn't been the case for all e-scooter riders.
"Every single day … we see people with nasty, life-changing injuries on e-scooters at the moment," Dr Putland told ABC Radio Melbourne last month.
