Scooters have also become popular in Norwegian cities, but have a maximum speed of 30 kilometers per hour.
It has also become known that Oslo Municipality will only allow the rental of a total of 8000 electric scooters and electric bicycles in the capital this autumn. Down from about 20,000 as the rules are now.
