Highly toxic batteries: Electric scooter land in the sea

In France, young people have made a fun of throwing more than 30 electric scooters into the sea. For the environment, the toxic batteries are a danger – and show a shadow side of the scooter trend.

Electric scooters are the last scream: worldwide, more and more cities rely on the electrical mini scooters. You should replace short car rides and reduce traffic jams and exhaust gases. Partly it works even. But the dark sides of the so-called road turning are becoming increasingly clear. On the one hand, the number of heavy scooter accidents has increased rapidly, including in Germany. On the other hand, the throats have an environmental problem. Especially the scooters of loan providers often keep only a few months until batteries and engines are defective. Then new scooters have to be procured. In Marseille in France, another annoyance showed: divers fished dozens of scooters from the sea. This reports different French media. Rioting teenagers had thrown the scooters into the water. The batteries in the scooters but are extremely environmentally harmful and can release toxins when the housing is corroded in seawater. The loan providers now want to make sure that the scooters are not turned off near the harbor.

  1. Very environmentally friendly!
    Here something was given free before it was well thought out. What do you have for one? … Plan where the defective scooter should go? What happens to the batteries? That’s just like the E-Cars. You are talking about environmental protection, but is not able to dispose of the oh environmentally friendly car batteries. That many scooters are rented, leads you to wear out quickly. Who buys such a scooter, will be completely different with it, the scooter will hold much longer. You have not thought about it. There should be collection points anywhere in Germany, in which one delivers defective scooter against a corresponding charge, which will then be disposed of properly. But our Politker can not think ahead, only sustainable.

  2. Change
    There are always changes in society. Including the e-scooter now. You do not help you anyone else, but by that it’s something new, they are exciting for such actions. That will stop again! Of course, the batteries are poisonous in the sea, but what passes to poisonous fabrics by accidental cars or through the large ships of this world into the sea is a very different caliber!

  3. Fridays for Future
    And on Saturdays is ringranded and the environment does not matter. That’s the same everywhere. If it’s about your own fun, everything does not matter.

  4. The same
    You are already clear that the one young person with the other young people have nothing to do?…

  5. Highly toxic batteries
    as with the electric car, disposal not clarified but all should buy e-cars. That will go out as at nuclear waste. Release unclear.

  6. E scooter are great!
    Many have no respect for foreign property and therefore there will always be abuse of the rental riders. Therefore, I see the topic of rental skeptical and questioning whether the business model expects in duration. It looks different with the travel scrolls. Someone who for his scooter min.Has spent 400 euros, will be very good and prudent about it. Here only the police must ensure that the rules are adhered to. The min.Age at the age of 14 I also find too low (better from 18) and a permit on roads in 30 zones would be ok, but not on every street. The Eroller will facilitate many commuting, as you can take such a scooter rather in the train as a wheel. Surely it will always be "black sheep" give. But great for the city!

  7. Oh yeah…..
    The e-scooters are great. But if you need to carry the weight for a long time. Z.B. over (roll) stairs to the subway or in shops then they are not great anymore. And how to transport his purchases on the device? There is a bike, an e-bike or even a moped practical.

  8. Environmental
    Are the skooters rather a catastrophe. After 2-3 months so broken that you need to be replaced and basically a fun vehicle with high risk potential in pure culture. Advertised by the initiators as the environmental movement. In reality only a meaning-free funmer. I can also handle the short routes with a baton without battery. There are more than enough in every city.

  9. And that does not just apply to the batteries of the scooters
    but also those of e-cars, which do not only need to damage the environment, but also dispose of expensive. The shadow side of the E-car delusion.

  10. Yes, the great battery mobility.
    That’s such a great environmentally friendly matter. Therefore, batteries may not be in household waste. Where are the batteries go for the electric vehicles? Nobody wants to talk about that.

  11. So you can not do that
    Lithium batteries are compared to other batteries such as Z.B lead batteries or nickel cadmium batteries not really toxic, at least if they do not burn. Lithium batteries that have reached their life ends can already be recycled to almost 100 percent today. When recycling these cells, only one fifth of the energy is needed, which would be needed for the production of cells from raw materials

  12. Electric scooter
    would never have allowed to be allowed because they have nothing to do with climatic rescue and eco. They are dangerously because the kiddis and young adults (up to 35) usually do not know traffic rules, unless they have a driver’s license. The introduction of the scooters is controlled by any lobby and as well as e-bicycles they have become only a danger to traffic. If you want to be green you drive with the bike / scooter without a motor, otherwise you can stay right at the car…

  13. Hero
    Whether they get something else to do as breaking and destroying? But then at the same time constantly call for the state and the general public that they do not do anything. Is not different here in the cities. No sooner is somewhere trying what beautiful to make it will be destroyed right back through chaotes. Sad and associates.

  14. People are like that
    What can be fooled around can be taken. What always. And if it is for vandalism. That’s why socialism (general ownership and general responsibility) has not worked.
