The Swifty Podcast #17- 2020 Updates and Discussing the Legalisation of E-scooters in the UK

The Swifty Podcast ventures into 2020! For our first episode of the decade Jason and Camilla update you with the goings-on at Swifty HQ.

With the recent news that E-scooters are on track to be legalized in the UK soon, our co-founders also talk through what people can expect from scooter-sharing companies as they are today. Discussing the difference (or lack thereof) between companies, the public’s concerns towards this news, how this could be addressed through design and if they believe there is space for free-floating scooter sharing in the UK.
