e-scooters

Motorized rental rides

E-scooters are electric-powered scooters, typically the stand-up variety with a platform between two wheels and handlebars for steering.

They became ubiquitous in cities in the late 2010s through rental services, where users unlock them via smartphone app.

The term distinguishes them from traditional kick scooters and from sit-down motor scooters: The sidewalks are cluttered with abandoned e-scooters.
