Paris is cracking down on rules for users of rideables such as electric scooters, Segways, and electric skateboards, as crashes involving such devices continue to rise in the French capital.

Police officers have launched a targeted operation in the city to enforce a new order for riders to wear helmets and reflective gear that took effect on 7 August.

Those caught without a helmet will now be hit with a €135 fine, while riders spotted without reflective gear face a €35 fine, according to police.
