Tallinn has reached an agreement with electric scooter and bike rental companies Bolt, Tuul, and Rekola to remove all rental vehicles from the streets for the winter season, starting December 1.

Deputy Mayor Kristjan Järvan thanked the rental companies for their cooperation in helping to maintain a safer city environment for all road users over the winter season. “Winter conditions, with ice and snow, are not favorable for scooter riding; it’s a time to prioritize the safety of drivers and pedestrians alike, as well as more efficient winter maintenance of sidewalks,” Järvan stated.

Bolt, Tuul, and Rekola plan to resume service after the winter break, once the snow has melted and weather conditions are suitable for safe travel.
