Electric scooters are once again taking people on short, motorized trips in Minneapolis.
Lime had their scooters on the streets Monday, along with Spin, one of three new companies contracted to operate in the city in 2019.
Spin is owned by the Ford Motor Company.
Also debuting scooters in Minneapolis this year are Lyft, as in the ride-sharing compan; JUMP, which is owned by Uber.
“We are excited to further our commitment to more affordable, equitable transportation for all with our return to Minneapolis," said Lime's Nico Probst. "Our initial scooter pilot confirmed just how valuable micromobility can be for residents and visitors, and we're excited to continue providing first- and last-mile solutions that help reduce congestion and get people out of cars."
According to the city of Minneapolis website, this is part of a pilot program for scooters that runs through next March 31.
Under the program, the number of scooters allowed in Minneapolis is capped at 2,000 to be divided evenly among the operators.
A maximum of 800 scooters are allowed downtown and surrounding neighborhoods, and at least 600 scooters must be distributed in areas of concentrated poverty in north, northeast and south Minneapolis.
Scooters hit the streets in St. Paul last month.
