From 13 April, the company Bird is expected to place electric scooters on the streets of Varberg, with the permission of the police and an agreement with the municipality.

The municipality of Varberg has analyzed the problems that have existed in other Swedish cities, and then set certain requirements.

Among other things, the electric bicycles must be parked within parking spaces in the inner city.

More electric scooter companies underway

Outside the inner city, electric scooters do not need to be parked within specific parking areas.

- On the other hand, we have made an agreement, so if there are problems, we will introduce parking spaces there as well.

We will have a daily review of the companies in the beginning, to see what goes right and what will go wrong, says Patrik Skoglund, infrastructure coordinator at Varberg municipality.

The company Tier has also shown interest in renting out both electric bicycles and electric scooters.

In May, the company is expected to place 900 electric vehicles in the city.
