Brighton & Hove City Council - E-scooter trial public consultation 10 Nov to 21 Dec 2025

The Council is considering taking part in a controlled trial of an e-scooter hire scheme, operated by Beryl, the city’s current Bikeshare provider. If approved by Cabinet following a consultation report in March 26, the trial would begin in summer 2026. The trial will offer residents and visitors a new, affordable, and sustainable way to travel.

A consultation is now live to gather the public’s views on safety measures, hire zones, hub locations and how e-scooters could fit into the city’s transport network.
