E-scooters
Remember to ride safe, wear a helmet and don't drink and ride!
Getting around Southampton has become even easier with the introduction of rental e-scooters. Part of a Government trial and operated by e-scooter rental company, the e-scooters can be hired by residents and visitors to Southampton over the age of 18 and with a provisional or full drivers licence.
With just under 200 parking racks stretching from east to west of the city, e-scooters offer an easy, hassle free and sustainable source of travel.
In this section of the My Journey website you can explore e-scooter information, resources, a Q&A, as well as a safety video.
