More than 150,000 trips have been taken on e-scooters in York since the trial scheme began in September 2020.

And there have been just ten accidents, resulting in minor injuries.

The Tier e-scooter and e-bike rental scheme has been considered such a success that it is due to be extended again.

It was due to finish in March. At a meeting next week, the executive member for transport Andy D’Agorne is expected to extend the trial for another eight months.

The service has been used by over 25,000 residents thus far, with 6,000 current active users making around 20,000 trips a month.

The busiest month in 2021 was October when 2,500 users were riding on a weekly basis.

Cllr D’Agorne said: “For over 16 months, Tier e-scooter and e-bikes have been building an important new option as an alternative to car use for local trips.

“It is important that we regularly review this innovative addition to our travel options for York. I look forward to reviewing the proposals at my next decision session.”

He will consider the extension at a meeting on Monday 14 February at 3pm. You can read the agenda here.
