Armidale Regional Council is the first council in NSW to welcome an e-scooter shared scheme trial on roads. The Minister for Transport Jo Haylen announced that Armidale is the newest location in NSW to host an E-Scooter trial, and Council has partnered with Transport for NSW and Beam Mobility to deliver the trial.
The trial, which is expected to run for 12 months from Thursday 7 September, allow e-scooters, hired through Beam Mobility, to be ridden across areas of Armidale, including from The University of New England to the city centre. E-scooters will be available for use seven days a week, improving transport options and connections for both leisure and commuting with affordable pay-as-you-go rates.
The scooters are limited to a maximum of 20km/h on bicycle paths, or roads with a speed limit up to 50 km/h, and a speed limit of 10km/h for shared paths. E-scooters are not permitted for use on footpaths.
Riders must adhere to the rules of the trial, wear a helmet, remain below the speed limits and must not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Privately owned e-scooters remain illegal on NSW roads and road-related areas, including footpaths, shared paths and bicycle lanes.
