Shared E-Scooters & E-Bikes - What's new?
The City of Cleveland is relaunching shared mobility (shared e-scooters and e-bikes) this weekend under updated legislation passed by Cleveland City Council on June 3rd. Program changes include expanded operating hours for scooters (5:00am-9:00pm through Labor Day) and an increased maximum speed of 15 mph for e-scooters

There are also new COVID-19 protocols for shared mobility companies. In addition to following applicable federal, state, and local health guidelines, shared mobility companies are required to sanitize the devices any time employees interact with them, including for recharging, rebalancing, and maintenance. Riders are encouraged to wash their hands before and after riding, and to wipe down high touch surfaces like the handlebars before riding.
