uGO by scooter! Learn more about shared e-scooters and e-bikes for micromobility options in the Circle. 

  • Faster than regular biking
  • Dockless options; convenient pick up/drop off almost anywhere in the city
  • Several different companies throughout the city

Shared Bikes & Scooters

The City of Cleveland permits private companies to operate shared, dockless e-scooters, and e-bikes. Ride costs vary by company, but users typically pay $1 to start and $0.35 to $0.39 per minute. Using a shared e-scooter or e-bike requires an account with the respective company. Shared e-scooters and e-bikes are typically unlocked using your smartphone's camera and the QR code located on the device, although each company has a process in place for non-smartphone users to unlock devices. Use the live map in the respective scooter company's app to locate nearby scooters. There are incentives to users who end their ride in the designated parking areas, visible in the apps.

Shared e-scooters are available from 5:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. daily and can travel to a max speed of 15 mph. 

Shared e-bikes are available 24 hours a day and can travel to a max speed of 20 mph.

Always wear a helmet while riding a shared e-scooter or e-bike.

Companies currently operating in Cleveland include:

Bird

Scooters only. $1 to start and $0.35 per minute, with $3 minimum plus tax. A temporary charge of $3 may be placed at the start of the ride.

Lime

Electric Bikes & Scooters. E-Bikes: $1 to start; $0.35 per minute plus tax. Scooters; $3.50 for the first 7 minutes, then $0.35 per mix plus tax. Free reservations 10 minutes before.

Respect the speed limit! As part of our traffic safety efforts, we partner with UCPD to install a radar speed sign at targeted locations in the Circle. The sign helps discourage speeding and allows us to collect valuable speed and traffic count data.
