The ACT Government is looking for a new provider of shared e-scooters for Canberra and high on the list of those angling for a shot is Ario.
Established a little more than a year ago, Ario currently runs e-scooter fleets in Cairns and Townsville in Queensland and Christchurch in New Zealand, as well as shared e-bikes in Sydney.
The scooters are easily set apart by their three wheels and AI-driven tech that together promise to fix all the problems faced by many current-model e-scooters.
We joined Ario Australia executive Trent Williams for a trial run at Regatta Point to find out how it works …
Applications to the ACT Government’s tender process closed on 1 August, with successful applicants expected to begin operations in spring 2025.
