A ban on rental electric scooters went into effect in Paris on Friday after Parisians voted to remove the devices from the city's streets earlier this year.

The French capital is the first in Europe to ban the rented vehicles from its streets after it was also one of the first major cities to embrace them in 2018.

The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, had advocated for removing scooters, saying it would reduce "nuisance."
