The decision by both councils “reflects careful consideration of the impact of the scheme across the region and concludes that rental e-scooters have been used responsibly and safely by the vast majority of riders,” according to Portsmouth City Council.
The extension of the trials also allows local transport authorities more time to collect more data on rental e-scooter use as well as understand the impact of rental e-scooter hire as a public transport option.
