The number of people buying e-scooters for private use is rising in Brisbane, even as the number of trips being taken on shared e-scooters returns to pre-COVID levels.
Key points:
Patronage on shared Lime and Neuron e-scooters has returned to pre-COVID levels
Private sellers say the e-scooter market is increasingly busy
Brisbane City Council is developing a strategy to govern the use of both e-scooters and e-bikes citywide.
Director of iScoot Newstead Andre van der Merwe said his store, which launched in 2018, could sell between 10 and 20 e-scooters a day.
