Transport for London (TfL) has expanded its e-scooter trial, now covering 10 boroughs, including the recent addition of Wandsworth. Launched in 2021, the trial aims to provide a sustainable transport alternative while discouraging the use of illegal scooters. With over five million journeys made, the trial is an initiative with increased safety measures, including high vehicle standards. E-scooter rentals are currently the only legal option in the UK. The trial concludes on September 25, with a potential extension for further evaluation.
Since its launch in 2021, TfL's e-scooter trial has facilitated over five million journeys, promoting sustainable transport and enhancing rider safety in London.
Helen Sharp emphasized the commitment to safety, stating that they regularly review the trial performance to ensure benefits for both users and non-users.
With the addition of Wandsworth, 10 boroughs now offer legal e-scooter rentals, expanding the trial area to approximately 300 square kilometers across London.
The e-scooter trial, initially set to end in September, may see an extension of up to one year to further assess its impact and effectiveness.
