Motorized shareable scooters gaining popularity in Atlanta have City Council members considering safety regulations for them.

Councilman Dustin Hillis said that officials are talking about rules for the scooters like a 15-mph speed limit, requiring people to wear helmets and ride them only in bike lanes or the street when possible, according to WSB-TV.

Hillis chairs the Public Safety and Legal Administration and is also an emergency room nurse.
