Paris is about to become one of the only cities to ban e-scooter rentals

Operators Lime, Dott and Tier confirmed their e-scooters would be out of the city by September.

But the result was emphatic among those who did vote, with 90% against the trottinettes.

"While Lime e-scooters will depart Paris by the end of August for other cities in Europe, Parisian riders are already pivoting to our expanding fleet of e-bikes," a Lime spokesperson told CNBC. Lime's Paris scooter fleet totaled around 5,000, versus around 10,000 bikes. The company said journeys taken on its bikes increased by 73% in the capital last year.

E-bikes are not uncontroversial themselves. Critics say that they clutter pavements and roads when not stored properly; are sometimes used on pavements despite their significant speed abilities; and are also often used by tourists or commuters without helmets.
