About Shared Micromobility in Seattle
Seattle’s scooter share and bike share options allow the rental of electric foot scooters and bikes for quick errands, trips to the light rail, climate-friendly commute trips, and more. Seattle has had free-floating bike share since 2017 and scooter share since 2020.
Vendors operate under the Shared Micromobility Program Permit
