E-scooters in Porirua

Porirua City has partnered with e-scooter provider Flamingo to offer another form of low-carbon transport around our city.

With e-scooters now available to hire throughout Porirua City, it’s easy to make more low-carbon transport choices.

E-scooters have become a popular way to make short trips, and many cities have introduced public e-scooter ride share services. They’re cheap to ride, environmentally friendly, fun to use, and can provide health benefits.

Flamngo e-scooters are hireable and can be locked and unlocked via apps.

To get more information, including a map of where the e-scooters can be used and download the app visit the Flamingo website.


Drop Zones

When you’re finished using an e-scooter, you’re free to safely park it anywhere so long as it is not a restricted area. There will also be ‘Drop Zones’ dotted around the city centre, identified with large stickers on the ground.

Users who park an e-scooter in a drop zone will be rewarded with incentives from the e-scooter operator. This is a great way to save money while ensuring e-scooters are more easily accessible for others to use.
