Novosibirsk municipality fights with the prosecutor's office on scooters In April 2026 Novosibirsk city hall introduced a ban on the use of electric scooters between 22:00 and 07:00. But the attorney's office was against it and in October, through the court, they accepted the cancellation of the decision. Now the administration, led by Maxim Kudryavtsev, has filed an appeal, reports the municipal website Novosibirsk News. The mayor's office emphasizes that the ban on using scooters at night is dictated by many complaints from citizens about breaking the silence. Also, the regional department of the investigative committee demanded that scooters be banned due to injuries and deaths, the authorities noted. In 2026 there were 70 accidents involving scooters. Two people died, 71 were injured, including 21 minors. "Scooter riders move on sidewalks, squares, parks - when the rules are set by the municipal law, and not by the traffic laws," emphasized the municipal administration.
