Electric scooters and bikes are becoming increasingly popular modes of transportation in cities as they are affordable, convenient alternatives to driving or taking public transit. Riding electric scooters allows you to avoid traffic and find parking while traveling shorter distances around a city quickly and for just pennies per ride. Companies like Lime and Bird have launched dockless electric scooter and bike rental programs in over 100 cities worldwide making it easy to rent scooters by smartphone app and leave them anywhere once finished with a ride.
