Mr. Will O'Brien:

We provide similar in-person training. Generally, there are two groups of in-person training. There are the targeted in-person training sessions, where a specific community is picked and go out to them. Before we launch, we will engage with transition-year-type programmes and aspects like that in a local area. We will seek to get training brought into the curriculum prior to our launch. That is the targeted training aimed at those aged 16 to 18. Additionally, there are also general training days that we might do in a town square on Saturday and Sunday mornings in the three or four weeks pre-launch. We will seek to do that in every town and city in which we launch. The only place people will be able to use these e-scooters before we launch will be in a ring-fenced area, which will have promotion, hand-outs, all the guidelines potential riders need to know and hi-visibility vests and helmets. Those are the sorts of things we wish to provide to people to ensure they ride scooters in the safest way possible.

It is also important to remember that this is not just a one-off thing that we will just do before we launch or for a month or two afterwards. It must be continuous. We are nearing the two-year mark now in some of our UK-based operations and we are continuing to do these training days and demonstrations. We have one seaside location which it seems is going to be very popular again this summer, so we are already planning how many training days we need to do there and trying to ascertain that we get enough people to attend.
