The city’s enforcement data from 2021-25 shows 129 scooters seized, 74 impounded, 53 vendor warnings, 13 vendor citations, 3,016 rider warnings, 51 rider citations, five guns seized and eight arrests. No deaths were reflected in the city's data. Meanwhile, Houston last year recorded its deadliest year on record for vehicle drivers, passengers and pedestrians, with 345 people killed on Houston-area streets, a record high after two years of declines.

over 300 people died last year because of car accidents vs 0 from e-bikes and scooters and you're gonna put a curfew on the e-bikes???

I don't think traffic safety is the reason. I think it's crimes being done.

Cars are a lost cause but maybe we can keep those e-bike deaths at 0 by banning them /s

The second death:
"Fuckit. Whatever. It's hopeless."
