Deputy Dastanbek Jumabekov proposed at a meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh to set a permissible speed for electric scooters at 15-20 kilometers per hour.

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.


Children are especially vulnerable; they become victims of accidents and suffer disabilities. Local residents will certainly support such a restriction and will be pleased with it.

The deputy also noted that there are already necessary tools for implementing this proposal. This implies a technical limitation: at the import stage, settings can be made in the software of the scooters that will prevent the device from exceeding the established speed limit.

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.
