The Whoosh press service commented: "We positively perceive initiatives aimed at improving the regulatory framework for private scooters and kicksharing services (rental of electric scooters). It is important to note that the Russian Ministry of Transport is developing an additional regulatory program that includes liability issues. Work is underway on amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses, which will systematize the issue of monitoring compliance with the rules and penalties for their violation. The process is carried out in dialogue with kicksharing services, taking into account the established practice and technical capabilities of companies renting electric scooters."

A representative of the company's estonia whatsapp resource press service explained that all trips on Whoosh scooters are insured and the user can additionally activate insurance that covers damage to health and property, and also extends to the victim of an incident. "At the same time, even if the client has not activated insurance, each trip is insured by the service itself and provides insurance guarantees for the victim in the event of an incident, covering damage to a third party. The Whoosh scooters themselves are also insured - in case the scooter is damaged as a result of an unintentional coincidence or force majeure," added the representative of the Whoosh press service.

The Yandex Go press service reported that the life and health of all scooter users during the trip are insured for up to 2 million rubles, and liability for causing harm to the life and health of others is also insured during the trip.

Lawyer and member of the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation on Entrepreneurship in the Sphere of Media Communications Pavel Katkov explained: "However, the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation already has articles on causing harm to health, and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on compensation for damages and losses. Special compositions may be needed to more accurately orient the courts and law enforcement agencies. This is what happened with the anti-piracy Federal Law No. 187: general rules have long existed, but special ones were needed for the mechanism to work."
