We split that up into bicycles (which got approved almost a year ago) and other types of electric vehicles, mainly in the category of 'scooters'. As we found out, the term 'scooter' is a particularly bad choice because it can refer to very different kinds of vehicles. This ambiguity even stands after translating the term in other languages, e.g. the German word "Roller" has the same issue. What makes it even worse is the fact that different people have a different understanding of the word, and sometimes are surprised that there is a second meaning.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The current version of the proposal can be found here:<br></div><div>https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/ElectricScooters<br></div><div><br></div><div>Please feel free to comment.<br></div><div>If you have suggestions for better terms for the tags - very good! I don't think we've found the best ones yet.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Jan<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>Tagging mailing list<br></div><div>Tagging@openstreetmap.org<br></div><div>https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div> </body>
