Cosc ar scútair leicteacha ar an gcóras iompair poiblí mí DF.. The ban on electric scooters on board buses, trams and trains in early October is due to safety concerns. Imní faoi shábháilteacht is cúis leis an gcosc a chuirfear ar scútair leicreacha bheith ar bord busanna, tramanna agus traenacha go luath mí Dheireadh Fómhair. The National Transport Authority has advised the operators of the public transport system, due to the concern related to the lithium ion batteries used in them. Tá comhairle curtha ag an Udárás Náisiúnta Iompair ar oibritheoirí an chórais iompair phoiblí, de bhun an imní a bhaineann leis na ceallraí ian litiam a úsáidtear iontu. The Authority says it is now known that internal defects occur in batteries and can overheat and catch fire. Deir an tÚdarás go bhfuil sé aitheanta anois go dtagann lochtanna inmheánach sna ceallraí agus gur féidir leo téamh an iomarca agus dul trí thine. This ban covers scooters that can be folded or carried, but does not include electric bikes or mobility scooters. Clúdaíonn an cosc seo scútair is féidir a fhilleadh nó a iompar, ach níl rothair leictreacha ná scúdair soghluaisteachta san áireamh ann. The ban will come into effect in early October. Tiocfaidh an cosc i bhfeidhm go luath mí Dheireadh Fómhair. The Authority says that a lithium ion battery caused fires and thick black smoke on the public transport system in Madrid and Barcelona recently. Deir an tÚdarás gur ceallraí ian litiam ba chúis le tinte agus deatach tiubh dubh ar an gcóras iompair poiblí i Madrid agus Barcelone le gairid. Such a ban is already in place in Berlin, Barcelona and the United Kingdom. Tá cosc dá leithéid i bhfeidhm cheana féin i mBerlin, Barcelona agus sa Ríocht Aontaithe. The electric scooters are not long on the market, and only this year regulations were applied to them in Ireland. Níl na scútair leictreacha i bhfad ar an margadh, agus i mbliana féin a cuireadh rialacháin i bhfeidhm orthu in Éirinn. According to the Authority, the control over standards in the manufacture of electric scooters is not as developed as it is in the case of electric bicycles and mobility scooters, which were regulated further back. Dar leis an Údarás nach bhfuil an smacht ar chaighdeáin i ndéantúsaíocht na scútar leicteach chomh forbartha céanna is atá sé i gcás na rothar leictreacha agus na scútar soghluaiseachta, ar cuireadh rialacháin orthu níos faide siar. Therefore they do not carry the same level of risk. Dá bhrí sin ní bhaineanna an leibhéal céanna riosca leo.
