Private company Tier launched a trial of electric scooters for hire in York last year as part of government transport plans, and the firm says it has now added 50 electric bikes to their fleet.

A total of 250 rental e-scooters have also been upgraded with smaller decks to stop two people riding them at the same time.

The upgraded e-scooters have also been fitted with improved identification plates so people can report irresponsible riders.

The scooters have been used by more than 6,500 people since the trial was launched and there are nearly 40 marked parking areas.

The government is currently carrying out a survey for users of the Tier app to hear residents’ experiences.

Privately owned e-scooters are still illegal to ride on public land. E-scooters and e-bikes cannot be used in York’s pedestrianised streets, but can be used on roads and cycle paths.
