e-scooters for hire
Approximately 2,000 e-scooters are available to hire in the city centre and surrounding areas including Toxteth, Dingle and Kensington, as well as key transport hubs and hospitals.
The scheme is a joint initiative run by Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, Liverpool City Council and e-scooter company VOI.

To help prevent transmission of Covid-19, all vehicles are disinfected daily and handlebars are wrapped in Shieldex Copper-Tape which kills 99.98% of coronavirus on contact.
Do I need to report an e-scooter left on a street?
No. Users can just leave them on the street when they have finished with them. A GPS tracker signals to the VOI team to collect them.
Incorrectly parked vehicles can be reported via the VOI online reporting form. You can also call VOI on 07476 550190 or email support@voiapp.io.
