Local rules limit scooter operation to 25 kilometers per hour on streets and 10 kilometers per hour in areas with dense foot traffic. Fraser Coast is evaluating road safety and rider satisfaction in the tourist city before expanding inland to Maryborough. The Hervey Bay trial is Bird's first foray into the Australian market.
