State broadcaster CCTV showed footage of Shanghai traffic police charging a driver riding an e-scooter on a main public road. "Segways and e-scooters belong to neither motorized nor non-motorised vehicles (categories)," said traffic policeman Ye Jialei said as he wrote a ticket for the driver. But despite the crack-down, many were still spotted riding segways and e-scooters on public footpaths in the city on Tuesday (August 30). The unicycle e-scooters are priced from 50 yuan (75 US dollars) to 200 yuan (300 US dollars) on average. Beside Shanghai, the capital city of Beijing also started the same campaign to reduce potential danger, state media has said.
