Even more electric scooters will soon be on Brisbane streets, as the city’s original scooter hire scheme prepares its return to the city this year.
A spokeswoman for Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said a “competitive market process” last year established a new operating agreement for e-scooters and e-bikes, which would start on July 22. Ahead of its Brisbane relaunch, Lime regional general manager Hugo Burt-Morris said there had been a 135 per cent year-on-year increase in the number of trips taken on the company’s vehicles in Australia.“Brisbane has proven to be a world leader in micromobility, and we think this position will only continue to grow once the launch of our Gen4 vehicles occurs,” he said.
