Chicago e-scooter riders are breaking the law by riding on sidewalks. The city has also gotten hundreds of complaints about scooter litter.
Scooter companies said new technology and policies would address sidewalk riding and scooter litter. But the I-Team found there are still problems causing potential safety issues.
"It is tough dodging them. Especially if they are coming right at you," said Fulton Market pedestrian Jeff Mack, who is worried about his dog. "It can almost feel dangerous out there." The Chicago Department of Transportation said all of Chicago's scooter rental companies must use technology that can detect and reduce sidewalk riding behavior.
Lime showed the I-Team how its scooters beep and even make an announcement when a rider is on the sidewalk. The I-Team also found examples of scooter litter scattered in the middle of sidewalks. And there were more than 600 complaints to 311 to get that litter cleaned up since scooters came back in May."They are given a warning first, but then they can incur finds based on a repeat, instances of improper parking," Bader said.
