Operators say Nottingham is one of the most popular locations for people using e-scooters in the country
Nottingham's e-scooter trial is set to continue until 2024 with more than 2m rides completed since the trial began. The trial, which started in October 2020, was later extended for a further year until November 2022 - but it has now been confirmed that the trial will last until May 2024.
Nottingham is one of many cities trialling e-scooters, and it is hoped the trial can be learnt from to integrate e-scooters into other cities around the UK, if they become legalised in the future. There are many concerns regarding safety, parking, customer service and communications for the scheme, but these have improved over the past two years, officials behind the scheme have said.
Parking racks and marked parking bays have been installed to address issues over e-scooters being left obstructing pavements. Fines can also be issued, and riders are now required to upload a photo showing that the e-scooter has been parked considerately. In partnership with Nottingham City Council, the operator Superpedestrian will be using the rest of the trial to focus on measures to improve the trial further, whilst also trying to get more women and older people to try the e-scooters. They will also be feeding back what they learn to the Department for Transport to help with their national evaluation.
