Lethbridge City Council votes in favor of scooters and e-bikes

Lethbridge residents saw scooters and e-bikes returning to city streets this spring.

On Tuesday, the city council voted in favor of the micromobility service.

For the past two years, the vehicles have been available to users as part of a pilot project.

Neuron was the sole provider during the project, but the city says it will now open competition to other services.

The same rules are expected to apply to riders, such as mandatory helmets, one rider per scooter and all riders must be over 18 years of age.

In Lethbridge, Neuron says riders logged more than 430,000 kilometers on their scooters and e-bikes last year.
