e-scooters for hire

Approximately 2,000 e-scooters are available to hire across the city, including key transport hubs and hospitals.

In addition around 150 e-bikes are available for hire.

The scheme is a joint initiative run by Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, Liverpool City Council and e-scooter company Bolt.

How do I hire an e-scooter?

We offer a range of road safety education and training programmes for people of all ages in Liverpool. You can download the Bolt app from bolt.eu/en-gb/. You can also call Bolt on 0844 933 4578 for support.

• prices to rent an e-scooter or an e-bike are available on the Bolt app - daily and monthly passes are available, with further details on the app
• users must have at least a provisional driving licence to hire an e-scooter - it is against the law to ride an e-scooter on a pavement
• you can hire one at city centre hospitals including the Royal Liverpool and Women’s Hospitals - with 50% discount available to NHS staff
• users are encouraged to use hand sanitiser and wear gloves

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 Bolt team to collect them.

Incorrectly parked vehicles can be reported via the Bolt app. You can also call Bolt's Customer Support Team on 0844 933 4578.
