Last week a sharing service representative arrived at City Hall on –WillHamiltonSeeElectricScootersin–two wheels, but it wasn’t a Sobi Bike he was riding. They brought a Lime electric scooter. The representative of Lime (Canada) brought the electric scooter for City staff to test ride. While Hamilton was the first city in Canada to have dockless bike share when SobiHamilton launched in 2015, Waterloo was the first to have E-Scooters with the launch of Lime E-Scooters there in Fall 2018. City staff took the scooter for test rides, and a staff report will be presented to Council in the near future with options to consider regarding regulations of E-Scooter sharing companies. On Sunday, Ward 1 City Councillor Maureen Wilson retweeted an article from the San Francisco Chronicle reporting on the success of a now six-month old pilot in the California city. San Fran public transportation agency staff are quoted as stating that “Scooters induce transit trips at roughly four times the rate that they replace transit trips, indicating that they could complement transit by serving as a valuable last-mile connection”. Editor’s Note: I wasn’t carrying my camera when I spotted the E-Scooter.
