Should London Continue Allowing Personal E-Scooters?
London is asking residents what they think about e-scooters on city streets. The city joined Ontario's e-scooter pilot in 2023, allowing personal e-scooters but not rental fleets. The pilot runs until May 2026, and the city wants your input before deciding what's next.
Why This Matters
Own an e-scooter or thinking about getting one? This affects where you can ride it. Live near busy sidewalks or bike paths? Your feedback shapes whether e-scooters stay—and where they're allowed. The city is also deciding whether to let rental companies like Lime or Bird operate here.
What Could Change
London could make personal e-scooters permanent after the pilot ends. The city might also open the door to e-scooter rental companies on public property. New rules could change where you can ride and park. If feedback is negative, e-scooters could be banned entirely.
Key Issues
- Should personal e-scooters continue to be allowed in London after the pilot ends?
- Should e-scooter rental companies be allowed to operate in London?
- Are the current rules about where e-scooters can be ridden and parked working well?
How to Participate
- Review where you can ride e-scooters in London and London's e-scooter by-law to understand current rules.
- Complete the feedback form on the consultation page. More feedback opportunities are coming in early 2026.
