Middlesbrough Council, GB leads e-scooter adoption in new regulatory environment with pilot
Middlesbrough Council, GB E-Scooter Pilot
The council's e-scooter pilot followed national legislation allowing scooter operation on roads. Fifty scooters are available in Middlesbrough with operations handled by Ginger at no cost to the council. Each scooter has a maximum speed of 15.5 miles per hour (MPH). Users must have valid driver's licenses to operate on roads with speed limits up to 40 MPH. The Tees Valley Combined Authority worked with Middlesbrough to expedite the pilot to improve mobility during COVID-19.
