Electrical Scooter Rental...in Lincoln

Post by ita »

Lincoln scooter program set for new launch in September
Electric scooters will hit downtown Lincoln streets next week, almost a year after city officials approved a pilot program.

Two scooter companies, Bird and Spin, can deploy up to 250 scooters each in Lincoln beginning Sept. 1 under the program.

But Mark Lutjeharms, who oversees the program for Lincoln Transportation and Utilities, speculates the scooter operators may not start with their full allotment.

Authorized by city officials in September 2019, the pilot program was postponed because of the pandemic.

Bird, Lime and Spin scooters were supposed to activate their scooters April 1, but Lincoln Transportation and Utilities Director Liz Elliott pushed back the start date.

Lime, the third vendor approved for the project, withdrew from the program, Lutjeharms said.

Bird and Spin have deployed their scooters in Omaha's second pilot program to allow the devices on city streets there this year.
