FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Fort Lauderdale City Commissioners have voted in favor of electric scooters.

The vote, which happened Tuesday, allows riders to continue using the scooters on sidewalks.

Officials are working on decreasing the speed limit of the electric vehicles to avoid collisions with pedestrians.

They hope to reverse a state law that bans the scooters from bike lanes.
