In August, Dale reiterated his remarks of banning electric scooters after local politicians in Trondheim decided to strengthen regulation on their use. Local politicians in Oslo also expressed an interest in the regulation, and Dale invited the parts for a meeting. Dale also expressed that a ban and public regulation was not the right solution, and further added that the companies had to come to agreeable solutions with the municipalities. He also attacked the Green Party's criticism that it was the Progress Party in government's fault that Oslo couldn't regulate the use of electric scooters. Dale called the criticism a "completely absurd situation".
