The electric scooter sharing company Muving offers Vespa-style scooters for rent, and it's already operating in Atlanta. D.C. could be next.
"European electric scooter-sharing company Muving is eyeing entry into the District’s dockless bike and scooter program," reports Jeff Clabaugh. "If the vespa-like scooters — which comfortably seat two and are rented via app — come to D.C., they would be the latest addition to the District's evolving dockless bike and scooter pilot program."
Clabaugh notes that the timeline for any potential arrival of Muving on the D.C. mobility as a service scene is still extremely speculative. But, the company is already operating 2,5000 scooters in Europe, and has already entered the U.S. market in the city of Atlanta.
