No car, no bike? No problem. The City of Winston-Salem will see about 200 electric scooters spread throughout the city this week.
The rental company Lime will display its white and green e-scooters for residents and visitors to get around with ease. City officials made revisions to the city’s regulations after Spin stopped its services in the Twin City in 2023.
New changes include lower fees for riders and 24/7 availability for riders to operate the scooters. Here are a few rules to keep in mind:
- No riding on sidewalks, greenways, in Old Salem, or in public parks.
- Riders must obey stop lights, stop signs, and all other traffic laws.
- Riders should give pedestrians the right-of-way.
- Scooters should be placed back at their appropriate location.
- Users may be asked for government identification to ride the e-scooters.
Pay $1 to unlock a scooter, then you’ll be charged $0.45 for each minute it’s used.
