The Government's move to shift e-scooter users from the sidewalk to bike lanes is being hailed as a win for common-sense. 

ACC statistics for e-scooter injuries this year are close to surpassing $14 million. 

There were also more than two thousand claims for e-scooter related injuries in the first half of this year. 

Flamingo Scooters Co-Creator Jacksen Love told Mike Hosking it clears up confusion. 

He says bike lanes are clearly a lot safer than the road and helps keep footpaths clear for pedestrians.
