Allowing e-scooters provided through share companies will ensure the trial can be carefully controlled and monitored. Shared e-scooters are speed limited so they cannot exceed the speed limits in the trial area, and they will be geo-fenced so they will not operate outside the approved trial areas.
The trial will also provide accurate data about how the e-scooters are used and how safe they are, to assist with evaluating the future of e-scooters in NSW.
