Electric scooters - also known as e-scooters - are the latest form of electric mobility on Berlin's streets. Electric pedal scooters are small, manoeuvrable and particularly suitable for covering shorter distances quickly and comfortably. In Berlin, the electric scooters are approved by the sharing operators Lime, Vio, Bird, Tier and Circ. Since mid-June 2019, scooters with electric drive can also be conveniently rented in Berlin via app, just like bicycles, cars and scooters (motorcycles). It is hoped that e-scooters help to relieve the heavy traffic in the city centre.
