Shortcomings in electric vehicle rental services on the Spring Flower Street.

In the pedestrian area with the musical fountain, the rental service for three-wheeled and four-wheeled electric vehicles for children is quite bustling, attracting many families. This is a healthy form of entertainment, meeting the need for fun during Tet (Lunar New Year). However, it is noteworthy that all of this activity takes place right in the pedestrian area without any designated separate zone.

This leads to a chaotic situation where "vehicles and people are mixed together." Because young children lack the skills to handle such situations, coupled with parental negligence in supervision, many vehicles have crashed directly into pedestrians. In fact, there have been cases where children, not riding vehicles but out of curiosity, have accelerated, causing the vehicles to speed off, endangering both the children and others, and significantly impacting the overall experience.flower street.

Sharing her concerns on this issue, Ms. Nguyen Tu Anh (Thanh Vinh ward) expressed her worries: “I also want to let my child play, but I'm very afraid that he/she might bump into other people. Because the vehicles are small, adults cannot sit with them to control them, and there are many visitors, so the best solution is for the management to designate a separate area for this service, completely separate from the visitor walkway to ensure harmony for both sides.”

After his family members were hit by an electric scooter, Mr. Nguyen Huu Binh (Vinh Phu ward) expressed his frustration: "Even though it's a vehicle for children, the scooter has a metal frame and a certain speed. When a collision occurs, especially with the elderly and young children, it can easily lead to injuries."

Besides the risk of traffic accidents, the technical operation here also raises serious questions. The business unit is currently gathering and charging numerous vehicles right on the sidewalk – an area with high pedestrian traffic. The battery system and connecting wires not only detract from the urban aesthetics in the city center but also pose a risk of fire, explosion, and electrical leakage, especially in rainy and humid weather conditions.

Notably, in response to reports of dangerous situations, the service provider asserted that this activity was "normal" as it had been running for many years.

The development of amenities, entertainment, and recreational services atSpring flower streetThis is a legitimate need and contributes to attracting tourists. However, this development needs to be placed within a well-structured and scientific management framework. To maintain the image of a safe and friendly destination, authorities need to quickly designate areas for electric vehicle use, regulate safe charging points, and strengthen supervision of the responsibilities of businesses.
