The London e-scooter rental trial commenced in June 2021 after the legalisation of trials across the country by the Department for Transport (DfT). This environmentally friendly mode of transport was introduced after the pandemic to aid with the countrywide ‘green’ recovery. Transport for London (TfL) is responsible for the management and coordination of the trial in London in collaboration with London Councils, participating boroughs and the selected e-scooter rental companies. Privately owned e-scooters remain illegal to use on all public roads in the UK.
This report provides an overview of the key statistics of the second year of the second phase of the London e-scooter rental trial, which took place from September 2024 until September 2025.
With UK trials set to continue until May 2028, these Phase 2 Year 2 report findings will inform the priorities for the remainder of the second phase of the trial.
