What Cities Have Scooter-Sharing Services

Where are electric scooters?

Ride-sharing is a booming business, but it’s not just limited to cars anymore. Since 2017, dozens of companies around the globe have been popping up to provide electric scooters for commuters, tourists, and anyone else looking for a convenient way to get around town. These fun, easy-to-use scooters are great for sight-seeing trips, quick trips into the city, commuting to work, or getting around campus. Although most electric scooters are limited to 15 MPH in most cities, it’s still wise to wear a helmet during your ride.
