E-Scooter Hire
Since June 2021 electric scooters (e-scooters) have been available to rent in several areas of London, including Canary Wharf.
We have three e-scooter providers – Dott, Lime and TIER – offering e-scooters to hire in 19 locations on the Estate. The e-scooter providers have been approved by TfL and follow strict safety guidelines. The e-scooters offer our visitors, workers, and residents at Canary Wharf another great sustainable way to get around the Estate.
How to hire a rental electric scooter
You can rent the operators’ e-scooters through their mobile phone apps. You will need to:
- Download the app of your chosen operator
- Complete the registration process including verifying your age and driving licence
- Complete the mandatory in-app training before your first ride
You will then be able to find an e-scooter. Use a QR code or vehicle ID displayed on the e-scooter to unlock that e-scooter in the relevant operator’s app.
The rental trial in London has been equipped with safety features including:
- Riders must be 18 or over and hold at least a provisional driving license
- The speed limit of trial e-scooters is capped at 12.5mph – they will automatically reduce speed to 8mph in ‘go slow’ areas. The trial e-scooters also come to a safe stop in ‘no-go’ zones to ensure they can be ridden safely
- All first-time riders must to do mandatory training on how to ride safely in London
- The trial e-scooters are maintained to a high level and have large wheels to help navigate road surfaces more easily
- Lights at the front and rear of the vehicles are always on throughout any rental
