Electric scooter trials in Gold Coast

Although electric scooters in Gold Coast are allowed in public footpaths, Mayor Tom Tate ruled out the possibility of having a shared e-scooter scheme in the city. According to the Mayor, the current regulations, such as riding on footpaths for speeds of 25 km/h, poses a risk to the public. The Mayor also says that the shared e-bike scheme launched last year has been a safer option.


E-scooter ride-sharing company Lime tried to launch a shared e-scooter service in 2018. However, the e-scooters were confiscated by the council since it was not approved by the Gold Coast council.
