e-scooter

Motorized rental ride

An e-scooter is a small electric vehicle with a platform for standing, handlebars for steering, and a battery-powered motor.

Unlike seated motor scooters, e-scooters are typically used for short urban trips and are often available through rental apps: I grabbed an e-scooter to get across downtown.

Many cities regulate where they can be ridden and parked.
