CIHT- E-Scooters – The Big Questions
Thursday, May 13, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
FreeE-scooters: A solution for commuters or an accident waiting to happen? This event offers the opportunity for attendees to consider whether this big topic in transport presents a viable alternative mode of transport or whether it is masking the larger issues at play. We invite six speakers from a variety of backgrounds to discuss and debate the ‘big questions’ around e-scooters:
- How do e-scooters fit into the future of mobility?
- Are they safe?
- Can they offer a healthier way of travel?

- Michael Tornow – Committee Member, Mobility and Access Committee for Scotland
- Josh Johnson – Public Policy Manager, Spin
- Natalie Sauber – Market Intelligence and Future Mobility, Arcadis
- Andrew Adam – Policy Officer, Sustrans Scotland
- Dr Achille Fonzone – Associate Professor, Edinburgh Napier University
Join us as we look at the pros and cons of electric scooters and how they could fit into today’s world. There will be an opportunity for attendees to quiz the speakers at the end of the event.
