A man says a friend paid him $1000 to ride an e-scooter into the Auckland Harbour. Auckland's Viaduct has been spiked with a Lime e-scooter after a daredevil was bet $1000 to ride one directly into the harbour. Supplied A video posted to Instagram showed a man riding a Lime e-scooter into the Auckland Harbour. The Government was also looking at law changes that would impose a 10kmh speed limit for the e-scooters. The footpath speed limit was part of a package of law changes called Accessible Streets, which would likely go out for consultation in early 2019.
