The method they used – and many delegations still use – was quite basic: They lifted the scooter in tensionThey pressed the gas pedal and displayed the car’s maximum speed on the screen.

But of course, many users, especially those with advanced electric scooters, had their own methods to prevent the dashboard from showing a higher speed than allowed. Others simply They appealed the fine due to the unreliability of the method. and in the end they turn out to be right.

Now, with the new car, reliability comes and everything becomes professional. Police officers can lift the electric scooter, place the wheel on its mechanism and press the gas pedal. These rollers, like on a professional test stand, indicate the maximum speed a vehicle can reach and its power.
