Bucks Council have extended its Zipp Mobility e-scooter trial covering Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Princes Risborough until November 2022.
The extension will help the the Department for Transport (DfT) to collate evidence about the safety, benefits, public perceptions and wider impacts of e-scooters. This evidence will inform the possible future legalisation of e-scooters in England.
“The decision to extend our e-scooter trial was not taken lightly but made sense when the data on ridership and safety showed the trial’s popularity and success in Bucks,” said Steven Broadbent, Cabinet Member for Transport.
Steven added: “Our trial has enabled e-scooters to be introduced in a controlled and safe manner and supports our ambition to be a ‘living lab’ for innovation. The trial is providing Bucks residents with a convenient and alternative form of transport that is clean and sustainable.”
To date, there have been over 120,000 rides in Buckinghamshire, with the average journey in all three areas being 13 minutes.
