E-scooter rental firm to ride across UK

By Alex Lawson

ONE of the three companies launching rental e-scooters on London’s roads tomorrow has already set its sights on expansion across the UK.

Dutch firm Dott – which runs schemes in Paris, Milan and Rome – will target Bristol and the West Midlands if legislation is changed. Dott, along with fellow specialists Lime and Tier, will be supplying 250 e-scooters in seven areas across London – including Richmond and Canary Wharf. Plans for the yearlong trial have triggered safety fears among pedestrians as well as concerns for the riders themselves.

Safety measures include indicators and a 12.5mph top speed. The Government is looking at making rental escooters legal. E- scooters are currently only legal on private land.
