Lord Mayor Graham Quirk has called for electric scooter company ‘Lime’ to “step up to the plate” and ensure enough helmets are being provided for Brisbane riders.
Questioned by the Labor opposition in a meeting yesterday about injuries on the popular Lime scooters, Quirk maintains the regulation of helmet use and speed are state government issues.
Quirk said Lime needs to work harder to encourage riders to wear helmets, with at least one person per day being treated at the Mater hospital for scooter injuries.
