Electric scooters could soon be introduced around Brisbane for anyone to find and use with a mobile app.

San Francisco-based start-up Lime launched 900 of it’s scooters in New Zealand’s two largest cities, with plans to bring them to Brisbane and Melbourne soon.

Detailed of where they would be allowed to be ridden in Brisbane were still being worked out with Brisbane City Council, but people would be encouraged to use cycle lanes and would be legally required to wear Lime-provided helmets.
