OK. And how fast do they go?
Mr. Briggs If you get going downhill are governed at 15 miles an hour but just going on flat surface, generally
12.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
Ok and just one more, where are they currently being used?
Mr. Briggs
Right now we are operating our scooters in Austin, Texas, Chicago, Illinois and Knoxville, Tennessee.
Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja
OK thank you.
Alderman Laws
| am little concerned about, there are a lot of bars and restaurants downtown. A little bit concerned about
people consuming alcoholic beverages and then hopping on one of these things. | assume the same laws as
operating a vehicle would apply?
Mr. Briggs Yes, depending on how the State classifies a motor vehicle, which | apologize, | am not exactly sure
right now as far as how it applies in New Hampshire. But if it is classified as a motor vehicle, then DUI rules do
apply.
Alderman Laws
Follow up. How do they get charged?
Mr. Briggs | actually can demonstrate. Another thing that we feel separates our hardware from many of our
competitors is the swappable batteries. Essentially this panel does lift up. This panel flips up and it has a
battery than we are able to swap out. If we do have a malfunction like this and this one does, then we do have a
van that we will use to pull these up and it has a charger port directly on the scooter itself. But being able to
swap their batteries and not having to pull the unit off the street is what | think makes our operation model much
better than most of our competitors.
Alderman Caron
Yes thank you, can you tell me how many you are planning on putting out on the streets?
