Note that this only applies to e-scooters operators: their licence won't be renewed. Privately owned e-scooters are still legal and allowed. The irony is there has been a lot of efforts from the mayor and operators to regulate the e-scooters: licensing to a limited group of operators (3 afaik, instead of virtually every operator under the sun deploying scooters), designated parking spots, better communication of rules to the users, automatic speed limits in walking areas. As a parisian that mostly walks and uses public transportation, most of my gripes with those services have been addressed by the aforementioned measures, but I guess that the early deployment chaos pissed off enough people to have them voted out.
