E-scooter trial
We're considering taking part in a controlled trial of an e-scooter hire scheme, operated by Beryl, the city’s current Bikeshare provider.
If approved, the trial would begin in 2026 and offer residents and visitors a new, affordable and sustainable way to travel.
Benefits of e-scooters
E-scooter use has been shown to have several benefits, including improved mental health and faster journeys. Existing UK trials have persuaded many people to use e-scooters instead of travelling by car.
Data has also shown e-scooters are more likely to be used by those on lower incomes and that almost half would combine their most common e-scooter journey with at least one other form of transport.
Share your views
We want to hear your views on an e-scooter trial including safety measures, hire zones, hub locations and how e-scooters could fit into the city’s transport network.
Your feedback will help shape the future of e-scooter use in Brighton & Hove.
