Norwich City Council, GB collaborates with Beryl to include e-scooters in multi-modal transit pilot
Norwich City Council, GB Beryl E-Scooter Transit Pilot
The 12-month pilot evaluated how 115 e-scooters integrated into the local mobility landscape. Beryl already provided e-bike and pedal bike rentals throughout the city. This pilot allowed users to pick up all three mobility options from a single app. E-scooter riders needed valid driver's licenses at sign-up and operated on roads and bike lanes. Data from the pilot allowed Norwich and Beryl to allocate bikes and scooters based on public demand.
