Fewer e-scooters on sidewalks: 100 parking spaces in Mitte

E-scooters and rental bikes are available at the Jelbi station at the Brandenburg Gate.

In Mitte, there will be fewer e-scooters lying around on sidewalks in future - because they may only be parked in certain parking spaces.

More than 100 of these so-called Jelbi areas have been set up over the past ten months on and around Alexanderplatz, Unter den Linden and the Brandenburg Gate, the Mitte district office announced on Monday.

No-parking zone outside the parking spaces

Users can only park their rented bikes, e-mopeds and e-scooters in Mitte at these 100 spots and end the rental. The district has set up a 3.5 square kilometer no-parking zone for two-wheelers around the 70 Jelbi points and the 30 signposted parking spaces. Jelbi is the mobility platform of the Berlin public transport company BVG.

Pilot project: Three barrier-free Jelbi areas

According to the district, the three parking spaces near the subway stations Museum Island and Alexanderplatz and at the TV Tower are barrier-free as a pilot project. The parking spaces were financed by the Senate Department for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and the Environment.
