switched off the scooter’s power, and drived on the pavement at about 20mph

 The court heard how Mpia, from east London, had switched off the scooter’s power, and had been driving on the pavement at about 20mph when he failed to brake in time and collided with Mrs Lilford.

Mrs Lilford told KentOnline the crash felt “like being hit by a car”.

She suffered fractures to her arm and leg, and required surgery to rewire her elbow, which was “smashed up” in the collision.

Neil Sweeney, prosecuting, said Mrs Lilford’s recovery “has been a very long process”.

She is still receiving physiotherapy and walks with a limp, while she may yet need further surgery.

It’s a new bike and scooter share program that launched Friday, June 4. Partnering with vendor company HOPR, The City of Rochester is offering 200 pedal bikes, 200 electric bikes and 100 electric scooters. Tom Brede with Rochester Regional Transit Service says it’s a couple years in the works – inspired after a previous share vendor, Zagster/PACE left. Brede says RTS was able to apply for a grant to bring on the new vendor, with the goal of expanding the share program into the surrounding suburbs. “It’s needed, people want this option, but it also speaks to how easy it is to use you just download the app, attach method of payment, follow the instructions,” he said.
