Scooter racks coming to Wellington
New parking racks for e-scooters will start being installed in busy areas around central Wellington from next week to provide spaces where scooters can be left safely out of the way of pedestrians.
Wellington City Council is installing the racks to accommodate the public share e-scooters at the 10 busiest places where people start or end their rides, although people who have their own e-scooters or push scooters can also use them.
The racks are known as Ruru racks as they resemble an owl’s face.
Councillor Tamatha Paul, Portfolio Lead for Climate Change, says the Ruru racks can also be converted to include e-charging for scooters and the Council may look at this and other e-bike charging options in the future.
The racks will provide free parking for up to 93 scooters at a range of locations.
