Cities are tightening regulations on e-scooters. Riders are getting hurt. And micro-mobility operators are caught between a growing safety problem and a product experience that can’t afford friction.
Sightic Solo gives operators a way out: an under 6-second alcohol impairment scan integrated directly into the unlock flow, before the rider ever touches the handlebars. Impaired riders are filtered out. Sober riders, the vast majority ride on without interruption, around the clock.
28% of all e-scooter accidents involve alcohol. Around 30% of riders hospitalized with e-scooter injuries have elevated blood alcohol levels. Cities like Paris, Madrid, and San Francisco have already responded with bans and restrictions.
The regulatory direction is clear, operators who don’t get ahead of it will find themselves reacting to incidents instead of preventing them.
Sightic Solo integrates directly into your existing rental app. When a user unlocks a scooter or bike, they complete a brief scan as part of the normal flow. No hardware. No queues. No friction for the vast majority who are fit to ride.
The camera captures eye movement, head movement, and hundreds of other indicators. AI analyses the data in real time. If signs of impairment are detected, the operator decides what happens next, block the ride, display a warning, or log the event.
At a 1% false-positive rate, Sightic Solo correctly identifies 97.2% of clearly impaired riders at 0.8‰ BAC and above, the threshold where crash risk is approximately 10 times higher than for sober riders.
Safer Streets. Longer Operating Hours.
By filtering out impaired riders, Sightic Solo doesn’t just reduce risk, it expands what’s possible. When the system ensures only sober, capable riders can access your fleet, you can operate with confidence around the clock. Safer streets. More rides. Less liability.
All Sightic solutions are built on a scientifically validated foundation, developed in partnership with leading research institutions and verified against a proprietary dataset of more than 14,000 real-world recordings of impaired individuals. Results are accurate, reproducible, and grounded in peer-reviewed methodology.
