Currently, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the allowed speed for these vehicles is 25 kilometers per hour.
In the opinion of the elected representative, this speed is too high. As evidence of his position, he cited the example of South Korea, where the limit is set at 15 km/h.

Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Oktobyr Urmambetov expressed agreement with the initiative and promised to study the issue.
In Bishkek, during the warm season, the number of people injured in scooter accidents steadily increases.
