Lime scooters will roll out onto Hamilton streets this Friday with residents able to use them throughout the city.
The rollout will be part of a six-month trial approved by Hamilton City Council, with more applications from operators expected over the coming weeks.
A total of 600 e-scooters will be for hire in Hamilton during the trial period. Around 200 will be arriving in Hamilton this Friday with the remaining e-scooters anticipated to arrive next week.
The e-scooters can be ridden throughout the city but will be focused on the central city, Hamilton East, Hillcrest and Hamilton Lake areas.
They can be ridden on footpaths and roads and will feature geofencing which automatically reduces speeds in certain areas to make it safer for users and pedestrians.
