Dockless e-scooters spread around the cities is one of the latest trends in micro-mobility.
Thanks to the huge popularity of electric motorized scooters, there are many scooter-sharing systems.
In this article, we have listed the most popular electric scooter sharing companies.
But first, let’s briefly look at where it all started.
The History of Shared Electric Scooters
One of the first, if not the very first shared scooters in the US were provided by Scoot Network in 2012. However, their scooters were not the ones we are used to today. Their moped-style scooters looked like old Vespa scooters.
First known shared electric kick scooters were launched in Singapore in 2016 by Neuron Mobility. But still, it was not quite the same as today. Their scooters were not dockless.
In 2017, one of the most well-known scooter-sharing systems were introduced. Both Bird and Lime are still the biggest players in this industry.
