Now students at Arizona State University have to take a little longer to arrive at school for classes, because in recent months, shared electric vehicles that have been popular throughout the school will be banned from riding on campus.

As long as you download a riding software and scan the QR code, you can ride an electric bike in school and travel freely. Companies like Bird, Lime and Razor are bringing this sharing economy to students. But in addition to being cheap and convenient, there are also various complaints on social media. Some people complain that electric bicycles occupy the locking handlebars of bicycles. Others complained that many cyclists were weaving in and out of the pedestrian lanes and bumping into people.

The school issued its final opinion last Sunday that electric bicycles are potentially dangerous to ride on campus, especially if the riders are not well trained.

Police at State University said electric vehicles have been banned since 1963. This is not a new rule and only disabled people are allowed to use electric vehicles on campus.

>The Tempe city government is formulating new regulations for electric vehicles, including the number of electric vehicles, fees, and areas where they can be ridden. The city council will discuss the regulation in November.
