Shared e-scooters
Shared e-scooters have become a popular part of the micromobility landscape in many countries around the world. They have not been lawful in the UK, however the UK Government is now working with local authorities and operators to run a series of trials of rental e-scooters.

CoMoUK always strives to positively influence and shape the evolution of the shared mobility sector.
