They're legally forbidden on roads and even in the bike lanes [1]. I can understand the road lanes, but I think it's a bit insane to keep them from bike lanes.

They're legally forbidden on roads and even in the bike lanes [1]. I can understand the road lanes, but I think it's a bit insane to keep them from bike lanes. Either way, both the police and Lime (via the app) specifically direct people to only ride them on the footpaths.

- dwd 8y agoNot allowing them to use bike lanes seems crazy but I guess that doesn't fit the idea of them being a last mile option. It takes 10-15min to walk Central Station to Eagle St so a scooter replacing a taxi/rideshare/bus and getting there in 5min makes sense. Bike lanes in the CBD would be a good idea - instead we have bus lanes.
